Blessings

I was blessed with the opportunity to bless a friend who is a pastor in Africa this week. He needed a cell phone. Sounds so simple to us here in the US doesn't it? A cellphone...no big deal, just go to your local Best Buy or wherever and buy one. But it's not that simple there in Kenya for him. They have such limited resources that even one of their PASTORS was having to BORROW someone elses cell phone, which as all pastors know, is something VITAL to their mission these days. Yet it was something His ministry could not give him. So we sent 200.00 to him and now he can buy his own cell phone. So why am I posting this? NOT to pat myself on the back I assure you! But to point US here in AMERICA, where WE HAVE SO MUCH that we CAN DO SO MUCH MORE! I know these are hard times here right now, we feel them too, but we are still RICH compared to the rest of the world. As CHILDREN OF THE KING OF KINGS, I just wanted to encourage you, my brothers and sisters in Christ to have hearts that are open to give where the Lord will lead because we are SO BLESSED WHEN WE BLESS! Just knowing that we were able to help one brother in need was SUCH a blessing in itself! SO, BE ENCOURAGED! BLESSINGS!!!
