What are you doing for the least?

A friend sent me this link last week and I just got around to watching it in its entirety.  It is extremely moving.  It will make you think.  It will convict you.

Mathew 25:31-46 

31 - "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 - All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another as a shepherd  divides his sheep from the goats. 33 - And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on His left. 

34 - Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 - for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 - I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.' 37 - Then the righteous will answer Him, saying 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 - When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 - Or when did we see You sick, or in prison and come to You?' 40 - And the King will answer and say to them 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.' 

41 - Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 - for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 - I was a stranger and you did not take Me in; naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.' 44 - Then they also will answer Him, saying 'Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?' 45 - Then He will answer them, saying 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.' 46 - And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." 

What am I doing for the least?  My answer ... not enough.  I want to be in His right hand.

God is the Father to the fatherless and we are His body here on earth. We need to take responsibility for the least.  We need to care for the least.  We need to show the least His unconditional love.  We need to let them know that Jesus died for them...the least.

Romania... are you sure?

By
A few weeks back I received a call from one of our church members telling me that God put my name on his heart during his prayer time that morning and he wanted me to pray about going to Romania. WHAT??? I can't go to Romania, I have 4 children, I can't leave them for a week! I, of course, did not say this to him, I instead said that I would pray about it. Immediately I sent my husband an email telling him about the phone call. He instantly sent me a message back asking what we had to do to make it happen. Wait a minute....he does realize the kids aren't going with me, doesn't he? That evening we were sitting with our children looking at the globe. We showed them where they were born and where they live now. Suddenly, my youngest daughter spins the globe, points her little finger and says "where is that". Of all places, she pointed to Romania. I have often told friends that I need a postcard of clarity from God. I think that was definitely a postcard in the fo...

Trying to be more of a planner

By Home with Tracy
In December I started making a monthly meal plan.  I was excited, but a little nervous about how it would all turn out.  I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome.  It didn't take as much time as I thought it would. I made the meal calendar for the month and then wrote down all the ingredients I would need.  That part was a little overwhelming at first.  I separated the lists into perishables and non-perishables/freezable.   Now I do a once a month shopping trip for the non-perishables/freezables and then a bi-weekly shopping trip for perishables.  I don't stick to the menu every day, but I know that I will have enough meals for a whole month.  When making out the menu I tried to put similar meals back to back.  Like one night we will have meatloaf and the next night we have shepherd pie.  I use the same ingredients 2 days in a row.  It saves time and money. My once a month shopping trip consists of bulk buying...

When the days are long ...

By Home with Tracy
Good morning, Moms! I am sitting here with my four children, enjoying my second cup of coffee after completing my morning bible study. I am a little tired because a couple of my children kept me up a bit past my bedtime. If I am completely honest here, it was way past my bedtime. The older I get the earlier I am ready for bed. One of my daughter's came in my room three different times to tell me about the book she was reading. She has been reading a series that has, a few times, brought her to me with tears streaming down her cheeks. Last night, however, the story was ending and there was some happy moments. She simply could not wait til morning to tell me. This is the same girl who, a couple years ago, refused to read. She wanted nothing to do with reading at all. Now she gets so in to the stories that she is emotionally connected. It is great to witness this transformation in her. After my daughter went back to bed, for the fourth time, I started to drift off to sleep .......
