Even just desiring to help is good. We should help when we can in the best way we can and not let our desire to help turn us into the Dickens character Mrs. Jellyby.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02319295883808264474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-3354611325743430512018-04-10T20:09:01.295-07:002018-04-10T20:09:01.295-07:00Im M ...such a good exposition in these words. So ...Im M ...such a good exposition in these words. So many modern religions, particularly the emergent church, emphasize the giving and charity to the point that many young Families are unable to enjoy life here, as they give so much to other countries. These people are hard working and barely able to keep up with expenses. They end up as poor as the people they are trying to help.

It was a spur of the moment decision made under stress, and I regretted getting rid of them for years afterwards. Then one day, on a freebies site, a lady gave away her collection of Victoria magazines. I got back all the issues I had Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08860558126238093060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-14718380532555673982018-04-10T06:25:12.884-07:002018-04-10T06:25:12.884-07:00Hi Lydia,
What a wonderful idea about the pictures...Hi Lydia,<br />What a wonderful idea about the pictures, I have often framed pictures from calendars but have never thought of using the glue or removing the glass from the frame! My sentiments exactly about giving time and money to so many charities, no one person can give to them all, it can get completely overwhelming when so many requests from different causes are coming at you from all Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-26247080912008448272018-04-09T13:59:04.125-07:002018-04-09T13:59:04.125-07:00Thank you for the encouragement.

My husband ,home and family are my 1st consideration in all things.<br />I am perceived in a strange way at church, because I don't work outside the home and not overly involved in all the things there. I am first always available to hubby and my grown kids and grandbabies. I LOVE it!!!!<br />beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09779906229261926165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-78444994959395687442018-04-09T13:01:20.304-07:002018-04-09T13:01:20.304-07:00Lydia,

For me, this one ranks second behind your post on the problems of the world which you wrote in response to my question of how to manage our hearts regarding trouble. <br /><br />Words cannot express how much the Lord uses your blog to inspire, calm and comfort me.<br /><br />Thank you so very much.<br /><br />ElizabethAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17309796987561754276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-51226377407083031982018-04-09T11:08:45.405-07:002018-04-09T11:08:45.405-07:00What a lovely gift, Lydia!

I could look at that one and dream a happy daydream of summer rambles. I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment toward charity. Little bits done here and there and that cause little disruption to my home are really the only things I can manage during this Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02319295883808264474noreply@blogger.com
