Take care of others

December 27 (2009)

Favorite moment of the day:  watching “The Blindside” – wow, what an awesome movie.

                  This movie is such a good example of taking care of the “least of these”.  Based on the true story of a Memphis, TN, family who took in a homeless boy, this story is an inspiration to me.  We are told to take care of those who have little.  In Matthew 25:35-40 the Bible says, “for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me…And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’” 

                  I want my children to understand that we should help our neighbors and give to others in need.  We donate items to thrift stores, we give things to people who have hard times, we participate in food drives, but is that enough?  I want to be a servant for the Lord and I want my children to serve as well.  We look for opportunities to help others, just like the Bible tells us to do.  After all, if we do these things for others, we are doing these things for Christ.
