Ways we can help

Alright, so I admit that I have been really watching a lot of the disaster unfolding in Houston and other parts of our country that has been ravaged by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Harvey. The recovery effort will be long and arduous. Lives have been forever changed. It is just unimaginable.

Seeing the news reports, the pictures, the videos, you can't help but wonder, "What can I do?" We all want to do something because GOD has given us the ability to feel and empathize with others. We want to help because we care. We want to help because we want to make things a little better. We want to help because we don't like to see others hurt. But, what do we do? How can we help? I think those are questions we ask ourselves multiple times daily without even thinking about it.

Today's word is a short quote from Theodore Roosevelt that reminds us of how we can help in most in circumstance, at most any time: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."

Each day, we should do what we can with what we have. There are some folks in this world that have more money than I could ever fathom, and they use some of that money to help others. I don't think GOD has a problem with people having a lot of money. I do think it is a shame to have a lot of money and just try to hoard it and make more. I think GOD has given us all things that we are to use to glorify Him and to make life better for others.

We may not be millionaires. We may not be able to help monetarily. But, if we will take the time to pray and to allow GOD to show us what we have and how we can use it, He will reveal to us that there are ways we can help.

Be Blessed,
