This year, since God provided me with a perfect job and I have been blessed with a small income. The Lord pressed it on my heart to give some of that away! I'm like, I have so much, even if it doesn't seem like to much, but compared to what a lot of people have...the least I can do is help some people who REALLY need help. I picked out of a couple of "gift catalogs," where you donate money to go towards, feeding children, buying blankets, providing clean water, mosquito nets...and much bigger things like animals and building homes and stuff. It really is fun to think of the lives you are touching! Again it is hard to realize just how much you are helping...it might not feel like much, but you know it is, it is just hard to picture just how much. And I want to do more...but then there would be no end! ; )
So I donated through two places, Compassion and Samaritan's Purse. At the end of the transaction for Compassion, there was this video at the bottom of the page. I'm glad I didn't miss it! The kids are all saying thank you! And it makes you realize, those kids aren't any different then us! : ) So cute!
They are thanking me! : )
I this on posted on FaceBook after giving: It's a lot harder to part with money when you are spending it...then when you are giving it! : D
I was thinking as I was picking out the things to give...I would have a hard time spending this much money on just something I wanted. But when I was giving it to people who really needed it...it was a LOT different....you kinda didn't want to stop! : )
Today is the last day of 2012! I hope that I will follow God's will for my life this next year, and I can only imagine what He has in store for me!
