These are the wingless angels that God blessed to give us examples of faith through their action of their works this week.
It is said it takes a village to raise a child it took the sharing of blessings of all the above named children of God to make imprints and a difference in the lives of our guests. "Alleluia somebody cares and they showed it" Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Penelope who is nine years old brought and emptied her very heavy over stuffed piggy bank filled with coins and "paper pennies" in our penny jar. Penelope had been given $20.00 for a special occasion, she chose to have this placed in her piggie bank along with her other money that she was saving for the needy. She is being encouraged and supported by her parents in sharing her blessings and passing them on to those in need. Penelope is showing us about her faith and putting it into action by her works at the young age of nine. We are grateful to you Penelope and your parents for sharing with those who are in need in our community. Amen.
Have a blessed journey this week as you feel the presence of the risen Christ that if you allow it can help you to have an aura and that special stride in knowing, feeling and displaying you are a child of King Jesus. Amen.
Blessings,
The S.H.A.R.E. Ministry
