Boy with a coin

On Thursdays my friend Gatlen and I travel up to Red Sea, our Church, and with a great collection of the Saints, cook for and eat with the homeless. Last week we served Thanksgiving. I must say, holidays are fantastic. Holidays are better when you're around Thankful people. Listening to their stories, laughing with them, somehow makes the turkey taste better.








I've been blessed recently by the provision of the Messiah, especially as he works within the Saints. How he's gone about it in my life is pretty clever. In Traveling Mercies, Anne Lamott says that when ever she's asked God for something He seems to say "Oh, thats nice. By the way, you should help this person over here." I've kinda noticed that in my life. Writing it down now it sounds so simple and so elementary, but by showing Charity you you're opened to Charity. I use the vague term "opened" cause sometimes its just that people like you cause your nice, and sometimes, I think, God is blessing you for your Love of Him... maybe they go hand in hand.

Speaking of hands, I've always wondered how keep, as the Messiah said, how to "not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing". I'm not sure exactly what He's talking about, but I think it has to to do with charity... flowing from us. It's a good feeling, but just cause He is first.

Grace and Peace
