Work hard to help others

 

If you have any free time and are looking for a way to help others, Target Dayton is in need of volunteers to pack meals, and others to deliver meals. They've been continuing to feed the hungry and minister to their flock throughout the pandemic, but have been short-handed. If you can't help with your time, consider a donation. Any amount helps.

     Check out their website for more information. 

In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Acts 20:35 ESV

Please join me this week in praying for those who are unemployed. Pray that they find jobs soon. Let's also pray for those who are isolated due to working from home or because their health or age makes it difficult or unwise to leave their homes. Pray that friends, neighbors, relatives check in on them and that they in turn reach out to others. Pray that God softens their hearts from being prideful when it comes to asking for help. Pray also for their physical, emotional, and mental health. Finally, pray that God inspires them to use their spiritual gifts, even during times of isolation, so that He may be glorified.

     Additionally, let's pray for opportunities to minister to those in need and to use our time wisely to bring glory to God.

Cleaning up the rubble

     The stories of people giving freely of their time and resources to help the victims of the tornadoes are truly inspirational. There were children who helped their parents take food to the victims, an entire football team who helped removed trees and rubble, adults of all ages, and retirees. Areas that I have to drive through to go to and from work have set up tents and hand out bottles of water, pizzas, and bbq a dinner each evening. The donations have been so plentiful that some distribution centers are having to turn away goods. (So maybe check out where you plan to drop off before buying anything else to donate). If you still want to help financially, you can donate to the Red Cross* https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation.html/
     I'm so proud to live in a community and county full of so many giving people. God uses His followers as image-bearers to the world, showing His love, mercy, and grace through us.

I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.

John 13:15 (NIV)
