Showers of Blessings

Note: This post will be short (I have a newborn!). sweet. to-the-point; and hopefully, it'll encourage you to move to action.

Rainy days are the perfect time to stay inside, clean out your closets/drawers, discover how excessive your goods and blessings are, and then use those items to donate and bless others! If you're with me, here's two organizations I recommend!

#1. www.lovepackages.org  - This is a new one I just found out about (for anyone to donate). They take donations of Bibles, Bible studies, and a variety Bible resources, etc. to send overseas to missionaries and other organizations to people who don't have as ready access to the Gospel and Gospel study aides as we have here in America. And really, who doesn't have a ton of extras of these resources lying around their houses that aren't even being used?

#2. www.freethegirls.org - This one I have given to for years (for women only to donate). They take gently used bras of all kinds and sizes and use them to help enable women to have jobs/income and a way of escape out of the human trafficking industry.

It's amazing what God can and will do with our generosity! Just as God rains down blessings on our lives, let's use today's rainy day (here in Campbell County anyway) to plan/prepare to bless others!

If these organizations aren't for you, that's cool too. Tell me: What are some organizations you like to give to? Post a comment or link to the website here or on Facebook... I'm always looking for new opportunities to rid my life of excess and help others simultaneously!

The "Grape Lollipop" God

  When I was younger, my siblings and I very quickly learned which errands to go on with my mom and which errands to run far away from. The one errand in particular I want to share with you this morning is when my mom would go up to the bank. Now, I don’t believe this bank is in business any longer; but back in the 90s, my mom would go to the drive-through teller at Barnett Bank. Whenever you went to the drive-up teller at Barnett Bank, they would give out lollipops to the kids in the car, which is probably while they’re no longer in business today because the Hill kids depleted them of their lollipops back in the 1990s.   But seriously, mom would pack all of us in the car, she’d talk with the bank teller, she’d get her envelope full of money, and they’d ask how many kids were in the car… she’d say 5. They’d say “send back some of the money to cover the cost of all those lollipops, lady.” No just kidding. But on those bank errands, everything was fine. Things went surpri...

Things I'm learning.... (reprise)

Quite a few years ago, I wrote a list of "things I'm learning…" It contained advice, quotes, and sheer observations about the life I was living and the life that was carrying on all around me. Well, today, I thought about that list for the first time (in a very, very long time) and thought perhaps I should re-create it, in a sense, based on where I find myself in life right now. at this very moment. Nothing came from quote websites or the like… it's all fresh from my little Rosemary brain. Hope you enjoy it, and it brings some encouragement and comfort and COURAGE your way - no matter where you find yourself along life's journey today. :) Things I'm learning... 1. Assume that everything has nothing to do with you, until directly told otherwise. Even then, know that you can't possibly know the full story. There's always something going on behind the scenes. 2. Don't try to please people. Please God. He'll deal with the people. 3. Sometimes k...

Wednesday's Wisdom

Listen to this beautiful song I just discovered (thanks to a friend)! Then, read my "Wednesday Wisdom" below. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGAzVbQC-18 Treat everything in life as an opportunity, not a right. Perspective changes everything from how you wake up in the morning to how you interact with others all throughout your day to how satisfied you feel at the end of every day. Every day. Every moment in every day. Every breath that makes up every moment of every day is a God-given opportunity, not a right. Enjoy the disguised and undisguised blessings He sends you constantly and consistently.
