Not much work equals much time to bless someone

steamy-windows2I was very inspired last night at the event i get 2 give! It is so true. . . it not about me, it’s all about Him. It is so fun to just be a living channel of His blessings. You know, a living channel always absorbs some of what flows through it. We can choose to become stagnant or let His love flow!

Today I got with a friend to bless my new neighbor who has many needs. My neighbor is waiting for the courts to approve her to receive disability funds. In the meantime, she is selling almost everything she has to have the money to eat and pay her bills. She has been without heat, hot water, phone and tv for some time until she sold her precious piano that she received as a youth.

My neighbor is fighting depression. She is stuck in her house without a car and feeling ill. I don’t have extra money right now; but because I don’t have much work, I do have time. So, I got with a friend who can sew, and we made curtains to give her a cheery room. My neighbor’s windows were covered with newpaper and old gift wrap that was half torn up by her dog. Now she has privacy, beauty, and lined drapes to help with her utility bills. The fabric came from my mom’s old drapes. It only cost us time and drapery rods.

My friend and I had a blast getting to know each other better, laughing as we worked. My neighbor is overwhelmed by people who hardly know her who would show her such love. I’ve gotten to pray with my new neighbor, and I have a new dear friend. God is so good. He certainly rewards those who do good in His name!
