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. 

What are you doing for the least?

An Update on Our Adoption Journey

By Home with Tracy
We have come to the decision to stop the adoption process of Lucas. It was not a decision that we came to quickly. It was not an easy decision. It was a decision that breaks the heart of each one of us in our family. We have shed many tears and I am sure we will shed many more. Our children still include him in their prayers every night and talk about him often. To us, he was already a member of our family. There are many factors that we took into consideration before making this decision. We are all hurting and feeling the loss of this precious little boy. We already had Lucas in our home and our hearts. I cry when I look at his bed that we already had made for him, just waiting for him to come home so we could tuck him in. Even though we feel this is the right decision, there is a big part of me that is still hoping and praying for a miracle to happen so we can bring him home. I am not going to go into great detail about the specifics. If you would like to know more, please...

Letting go of the boy, so he can become a man.

By Home with Tracy
Rain! We thought the rain would never stop. It seemed to rain every day for over a week. All the while, our lawn continued to grow and grow. When there was finally a break in the rain, the lawn seemed to stand two feet tall. Our oldest son has taken on the responsibility of mowing the lawn. He was so happy when his dad told him that he could mow on his own. He longs to please his dad. He longs to make him happy. He longs for his approval. Of course, he doesn't have to mow in order to do or receive any of those things. He has been a daddy's boy since the day he came into the world and we found out we had a son. Our son went out to tackle mowing the lawn. He had been asking me every day if he could mow and today I was finally able to say yes, that it was dry enough. He had been out there mowing for about 20 minutes when he came in for a drink. He was dripping with sweat. My heart sunk for my boy, for how difficult the task he was attempting to complete. I told him that I...

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...
