Ponder these things!

Monday again?

I can't believe how the days

turn into weeks,

and the weeks

turn into months!

Half of the year

almost gone!

We can make the time we have

more valuable 

if we "ponder these things in our heart"

like Mary did. (Luke 2:19)

We should not let the things that happen to us

disappear like sand in to the crevices of time.

But we should see meaning,

and we should see growth

and we should see purpose.

Nothing that happens to us is an accident.

"Give to the one who asks of you,

and do not turn your back

on the one who wants to borrow."

(Matthew 5:42)

I have often pondered on this verse

and discussed it with my husband.

Here in the Philippines,

there are many beggars.

I find it difficult to give,

because it feels as if we are training

the young children to BE beggars,

if we give money to them when they beg.

So I usually buy food, or bring some 

bread to give.

My husband insists that it is better to talk to them

and give them dignity as a person.

He knows many beggars,

sees them grow up,

and have children.

Yes, it is good to give more than money.

We can give time!

I love blog parties!

Won't you join us?

On Your Heart Tuesdays,

 

and

Blessings,

Patsy
