It is so sad. It can be overwhelming at times. But we can help in small ways all around us to alleviate the suffering of others. We can even do our small parts to alleviate the suffering of those far away by giving the little bit we can to those we want to help. I wish you a wonderful Christmas.Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-21815228459255112592013-12-16T12:13:35.190-08:002013-12-16T12:13:35.190-08:00Hi Pat, thank you for dropping by.

I love the reciprocal blessings too for somehow I always feel that is how it is meant to be ;-) I just heard on television the other day that giving actually increased endorphins and happiness.Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-38929390180490989162013-12-16T12:12:45.761-08:002013-12-16T12:12:45.761-08:00Hi BettyandAnnie, I'm so glad you liked the qu...Hi BettyandAnnie, I'm so glad you liked the quote and I hope others did at your work place too :-)Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-16717389624068573222013-12-16T12:12:16.314-08:002013-12-16T12:12:16.314-08:00Thank you Hannapat.

I was listening to a BBC program this morning about Syria and the Syrians who are so hungry, and wishing I were a millionaire so I could help. I like your stories about the small ways we can all help right where we are.

I love the fact that you made a little sewing kit, how very thoughtful. I am pleased to hear that the kind man fixed your fire and that you are now feeling a great deal warmer, how very generous of him. I do hope that you are not feeling too cold. Take care of yourself. xoxoHannapathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973402312667870414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-20887452721447216382013-12-10T00:47:32.587-08:002013-12-10T00:47:32.587-08:00Hello JAbbott, it is nice to be able to give, and ...Hello JAbbott, it is nice to be able to give, and nice to when someone can receive. It always warms my heart to be able to give and meet someone's need.

I know how very busy many people can get over this season and so it takes a person who has ears to hear to hear the voice of the Spirit speaking. I do understand about the cat situation and your caring heart has really helped your friend Rina through this difficult time of separation. May God continue to bless her through your good works. My friend in Canada is actually from Tanzania. God bless and big hugs. xxJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-51266721848559719122013-12-08T21:38:57.605-08:002013-12-08T21:38:57.605-08:00Penny, the Holy Spirit certainly speaks through yo...Penny, the Holy Spirit certainly speaks through you at this time every month. When I read this [type of] post on your blog, I slap my forehead and remember what I've forgotten! Sorry, I've been so involved with the foster cats' relocation, that this went out of my head. (Thanks for your beautiful comment on that post this morning, you are a discerning lady and understand exactly what all the care of two extra cats and their final move entailed.) What a blessing that serviceman was to you; I remember you saying how long your gas fire has been out of order. And he saved you dollars and then you blessed your friend in Canada who obviously hails from Kenya? You are a darling and I honor your kindness and generosity.

How good you asked that child's family to celebrate Christmas that first year they were in Canada so they weren't so lonely. I offered to do something for a gal at church recently and she said "you are an answer to prayer". That was good to hear :)Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.com
