I love the heart the Lord gave Mother Teresa for the poor.  

A few quotes from Mother Teresa:

 When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her.  It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed.  We have refused to be instruments of love in the hands of God to give the poor a piece of bread, to offer them a dress with which to ward off the cold.  It has happened because we did not recognize Christ when, once more, he appeared under the guise of pain, identified with a man numb from the cold, dying of hunger, when he came in a lonely human being, in a lost child in search of a home."

 Praise Christian News ministry: 

  We have a outreach we started a couple of years ago with a friend in Kenya.

 Mostly we try to help with food to some people and families who just don't have enough to eat, otherwise.  

Actually, by the Lord's grace, like all of you, we try to help where  the need arises .

We send about one hundred and sixty dollars a week to help feed some families, and it touches many children's lives.

The Lord showed me the episode of Backyardigans, race around the world. 

I had ask the Lord for direction in my own walk and this is what was given to me.  So simple.

The little racer didn't go so fast, but stopped all along the way and helped.  You know what?  He won anyway.

It is like our walk.  It is how we run the race.  And who we stop to help along the way.

It is not necessarily in big things, but little things with love.  Mother Teresa mentioned that.  She also often mentioned what the Lord showed to her and what He spoke to all of us.  What we do to the least of His, or don't do, is what we have done or not done to Him.

Whether we take the time to become the answer to other's needs around us, because of Jesus' love for people. 

 He so loves.  He isn't in such a hurry to run past the person on the side of the road in need.  His heart pours out for the needs of others.  Even when they are across the world.

We try to feed families every week that do not have the opportunities for simple sustenance.  We'd like to grow in this and that will take the Lord's doing and His increase which I have ever seen that He does.

Sometimes we do better than other days, but it is always a getting back up, getting a good attitude, and going on in the race. 

And helping those in need that we can do something about, along the way.

There are so many needy kids, so many needy people,  in other countries and in our own Country.  You just don't have to look far to find the hungry or those who are destitute and those who are destitute of knowing the Lord and His love for them.  This is a hunger and thirst that cries out to the Lord. 

  Same thing for abortion.  Jesus loves those babies so much, and loves the mothers and cares about their lives.  Their sweet lives need to be saved by prayer, peaceful intervention and a willingness to help the mother's in need.

  Loving care of foster kids, going to nursing home, it doesn't take much thinking, only a little prayer, to find places to give of the Love of Jesus into the lives of others.

  He cares about the lawmakers that don't know Him.  Those with no conscience.  People that would pass laws to kill the unborn.    He cares about people who live their lives as terrorists.  He cares about the little ones who are starving and taken to do such things from a young age.   He cares about the people who live godless lives without Him.  And those crying out in their hearts to know the real and Living God Who cares for them.

The Lord came into the world to save people.  To save sinners.  Of whom, I was terribly so.  I can assure you, from my own life, Jesus came to save you.

He would that all would be saved. 

He is the Great Physician, and came to save those and heal those in need. 

 People are starving for hearing the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ spoken through the Love of God in our lives. 

 People can hear, through the actions of love.  We can give all we have, go and teach, but if we don't have Jesus' Love and show it, it is nothing.

  And a real touch from Jesus Christ will heal a life.  Continued love into lives will transform them.  Just like He does with us everyday.

 If I were to state quickly the conclusion I have come to, it is this.

God gave many people and countries,  wealth, abundance, much food.  He gives to us an abundance of life when we come to Him.  An abundance of His Love.  It is to share.  Never to hoard.

Many countries and people everywhere,  are extremely poor. 

Those who have never heard of the Lord or about Him.   And those who suffer because of various things, and hunger.

  The poor and the needy.  Those crying for help.

The Lord hears.   He cares.  He opens up rivers and fountains for their need, and those rivers and fountains are us, full of His life and His blessing for others.

I believe we need to share what we have been given, with others and not turn away from them.

If by chance you don't know how to help, get on our wagon, we would love to have you aboard. 

We can think of many ways to help others and would love to have you as a part of the work that God has given to all of us to do to feed the hungry.
