Memory Verse: Psalms 26:2 NIV
Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind.

Assignment: This week I want you to do something for someone else. Do you have a neighbor that needs you? Do you know an elderly person or single mom that could use you? What about the homeless? Pack even one single sack lunch and give it to someone in need. Do you know someone in blogland that is struggling right now and could use a note from you about how much you care? Pray about this. Let God put on your heart the perfect thing for you to do for another. Now, here is the kicker…I DO NOT want you to post about what you do. Whatever you choose to do is between you and God. Our rewards are in heaven, not here on earth, Mathew 6:1. I want you to post about how doing this “act” made you feel. Was stepping out of your comfort zone in this area as hard as you thought it might be? Could you see the gratefulness in their eyes? Hear it in their voice? Tell it from their typing? Do you think you might make doing things like this a more regular part of your time?  If this is an area that you are already active in, tell us how you feel this has impacted your life.

My husband and I have always loved "helping others" It is very rewarding to help people in their time of need. Recently I put together a gift for a friend who was going through a difficult time and got in contact with this gal who was in charge of this ministry called "AngelfoodMinistries" I don't know if any of you have heard of this wonderful Ministry but, it is awesome. Anyway the gal that I was working with was really surprised at how I wanted to help a friend in need and said this is the way that Christ wants us to be~is helping one another out in time of crisis. When you see your friends go through things and when you see how others struggle, it makes you take a deep look at your own situation that you thought was really bad but, then you realize your situation isn't as bad as you see what others struggle with and even if your situation looks bleek God will reward you for all the things that you try and do and how you try and help others-it doesn't matter if it is just a little thing or a big thing..he looks at our hearts and thats what really matters.

A verse I am sharing today is..."My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up." Psalm 5:3
