Blessed to be a blessing....

When we give our all to Jesus, he can work miracles with our efforts. The other day a former colleague and former students of mine in India met with the "street lady", Madathi, whom I have been blessed to help support with help from others in the US, and their help on the ground in Kodaikanal, India.

To be God's hands and feet, where we are and around the world, gives an awesome sense of purpose and meaning to our lives. I read a sign the other day that said the key to happiness is loving someone, doing something meaningful, and having something to look forward to.

For me, giving is just that. It shows God's love through our acts of kindness, it is meaningful to whomever we give in ways we may never fully understand, and when we surrender our lives to Christ, he will take us places and fill our hearts in ways we never imagined!

Attached is the short video my colleague took where Madathi, the street lady, is blessing us the givers......Thank you to all who have given to make this possible, and may we all be encouraged to be God's hands and feet each day, in all we think, say and do.  Namaste....

Don't Ya Give Up!

When we are taking ground, it is easy to become distracted or believe the lies around us, yet if we keep pressing towards the mark, keeping our eyes on the author and finisher of our faith, God promises he will see us through. My encouragement today is not deep, but it is the most important thing you need to remember, don't give up!

If you've fallen, get back up, if you've been resting, start moving again, if discouraged, take it to Jesus. He will never leave or forsake you, his plans for you are good, to give you a hope and a future, so don't give up!

Hebrews 12:1-3 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, ² fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. ³ Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."
