I was so touched this morning to see my fellow bloggers putting forth such an amazing effort in helping raise funds for the victims in Haiti. I have been watching the news coverage the last few days wondering “what can we do”? My efforts and ideas seem to pale in comparison to the disaster that has happened there. But, Crystal put it so well…
“Even if it seems like it’s a drop in the bucket, remember that a bucket of water is made up of that–drops!”
So, with that said, I want to ask you to help in some way. Whether it is to pray, donate your time, or to donate money. Did you know that through Give to Numana, Inc., for only $0.30, you can donate one meal to a starving person in Haiti? Whether you have $2 or $100, or it is a prayer for them, I want to call you to action to help.
One of my favorite verses on giving is in Malachi. God calls us to be generous, and he will bless us beyond our wildest dreams!
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. – Malachi 3:10
Ideas to Help
If you have been following my blog this month you know that we are doing a Pantry Challenge. One reader had a great idea to use the savings from her Pantry Challenge as a donation to the Haiti Disaster Relief efforts. Another is collecting her “extras” from couponing to take to her local church that is pulling together a mission trip to help out. Leave us your ideas in a comment below. Your idea just might call someone else to action!
