Don't Miss The God Voice

This morning I was reading some more of Max Lucado's book, "Outlive Your Life." There was a little bit about microfinance, where regular people like me can give a few bucks so that people in other countries can borrow it and help their families by owning their own business. Then they pay it back and someone else gets the money. Pretty cool really.

My gift keeps getting recycled to help families climb up at least some as they help their families and the community around them.  So many times I miss opportunities like this by just "moving on" to other thoughts. Not today. Helped some guy in Kenya, one of the next door countries to where Rosie will be in Tanzania in the Peace Corps. I easily could have talked myself into waiting until she gets to Tanzania and seeing what help may be needed in her village. But there is nothing to stop me from doing that then.  But this is now.

Joseph Kimeto will also be able to send his children to school and purchase the materials they may need.  Sounds like a good reason to help someone.  I decided to give it through World Vision this time, (listen to me, already talking like there will be a next time :)  Another good place to help is The Floodgate Foundation.  Other places are around also I'm sure.

Despite the details of all this, the main thing I want to say is that when we believe God is inviting us to help someone it is a good thing to stop and do something.  Don't miss the God voice.
