I am not a wealthy person financially, but if anyone needs a bible and tells me I find a way to get one to them. I think knowing Our Lord through His words makes a difference in the lives of those who otherwise would be hopeless.

Encourager. Pointing out the God stops to others...that was God moving, speaking. Helping others "get" the Word. <br />Love ya...thought provoking post indeed sister!

But, I truly believe that the Lord wants us to know our gifts and to use them. I suppose my writing is my gift, and using the words that God gives me to encourage others in this thing called life. I pray that He helps me to be faithful, and to help others recognize and use the beautiful gifts that God bestows on all of us.<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966292221486788658.post-15108921849950700902014-11-20T08:38:13.476-08:002014-11-20T08:38:13.476-08:00So much of the time it is the simple things that m...So much of the time it is the simple things that make us the happiest just like the kids that you worked with! We just need to stop and take time to be grateful for them. :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865193802444007545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966292221486788658.post-87970620825818182902014-11-20T06:08:45.264-08:002014-11-20T06:08:45.264-08:00Hi Nikki,

I guess I just try to help make the world around me a better place by doing my best to represent His love and grace. Something as simple as standing in a long line-up at the check out this time of year and smiling at the cashier when you finally get there. A kind word goes a long way when a clerk is frazzled and dumped on because the customers ahead of you were complaining. This is a wonderfully thought provoking post to ponder, Nikki. Thanks for sharing and have a fabulous weekend.<br /><br />Blessings & hugs,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.com
