Our family has been in need...Amen and amen, Carrie! Our family has been in need. It took people who had some kind of relationship with us to start the process to help bring us out of our situation. G-d worked through His people. <br /><br />I remember reading that passage on fasting a few years ago. It was an eye-opener...as were the passages on the Shabbat that I believe I was looking for at the time. <br /><br />Working with people who have less than us can be a very uncomfortable proposition...definitely not in our comfort zones...but we MUST! We are CALLED to it...not just the few, but ALL of us. I, too, am challenged to open my eyes and my heart. I so hear you, sister!<br /><br />Beautiful song!AbigailCWhttp://ourbeitshalom.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346678034522618434.post-90134664841263103122011-04-20T10:11:33.692-05:002011-04-20T10:11:33.692-05:00I loved reading your reflection--as you know, I...I loved reading your reflection--as you know, I've been realizing myself how much I've had the heart-philosophy of 'I'll help you if you show me you're worth it' which is TOTALLY not the gospel. I'm grateful for having grown up with a Midwestern work ethic, but it's a double edged sword, because when I see someone who won't help themself, I feel . . . contempt. =( I hate that about my own heart--but thankfully God changes the heart and has promised to do so. So I can give myself to him and let him do his work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346678034522618434.post-86530256396965954712011-04-19T14:20:06.472-05:002011-04-19T14:20:06.472-05:00What a beautiful post!
