Most of the time we could probably make a bigger impact if we sent the money we would use on a plane ticket to a foreign country over to that country (if we wanted to help with "foreign missions") and then spent the time we would have spent over there helping with needs at home. Oh and I checked out your Web site and I'm totally ordering your new book. The title alone makes me think of people I knew growing up, ha! I wonder the same thing too, Karen.

I often wonder why we feel the need to leave the country to conduct missions. The Bookmobile was the best mission program in my neighborhood.

We just need to do the tasks that God puts in front of us. That life of obedience is what makes a difference. Thanks, Jo, Amber and Amanda, for your kind words :-)

It has just become one of my favorites, if not my favorite. I also like to pray to the Lord to help me have eyes and ears to see daily the needs before me that I can assist with. And we need to give appreciation and gratitude to those wonderful roles like motherhood, our pastors, etc, that continually give out as we can grow accustomed to it and take it for granted. Something I like to remind myself of because sometimes you hear and read stuff and you start to feel bad like you should be doing more and I like to remind myself that these perceived smaller things that don't get as much attention are big and multiply in the Lord's hands. It's the heart that counts. Jesus said the lady that threw two coins in a bucket gave more than the rest because that was all she had. So I was feeling that way again not too long ago and I don't recall if I said something to my sis or she percieved it. Think I said something. Anyway, so she responds and to me all her words were just perfect and was like God Himself was ministering to me. Won't give all the details but she mentioned some things I do and also about things that she knows is close to my heart and the ministry in that too. Anyway, helped me a great deal. As I said, the words were so perfect and ministered to me that it was like God Himself speaking through her. Thanks for this great article with such a wonderful message April. On a scale from 1 to 10, I give it a 20. Love in Him, Jo April, I absolutetly love this one. It has just become one of my favorites, if not my favorite.
