In service Thursday night Joe challenged us to take $2.50 of our money and help someone else. He stated that 3 billion (almost 1/2) people in the world live on less than $2.50 a day. It tore at my heart. But then again lots of things tear at my heart and what do I do about it? Nada. So Last night (Friday) Micah and I went to dinner with his family in Pasadena. As I was turning off the freeway onto Lake there was a woman standing on the corner with a homeless sign. She was a very nice looking woman but her eyes held a lot of hurt. I smiled at her and she smiled back and walked past my car down the line of cars sitting at the red light. Not an uncomon scene in any city really. I thought about Joe's challenge and before the light turned green I grabbed a five dollar bill and handed it to her. "God Bless You" she said, and I thought "He really has..." I complain because I don't have the money to buy new clothes or go out to eat all the time or that my husband and I don't have our own home yet. But God has blessed me unbelieveably with a job that pays the bills, a wonderful family who loves me and supports me, a roof over my head, and great friends and church family. The challenge for me now is do I smile and pat myself on the back for giving a homeless woman a couple of bucks and go on with my life? or What's next?
