Maybe it’s too late…

…God help us if it is:

“From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.“ Karl Marx

Please think.

Please look at history.

Please don’t be ignorant.

Research what’s happening in Argentina right now….and what is being discussed, here in America, right now as it relates to seizing private pension funds.

We may be angry at those who are wealthier than we are, but if the government can seize someone else’s private pension fund….whose to say they won’t seize yours as well.

Think about it……..

We can’t afford to be ignorant.

Peace.

The Sun Also Rises…

…even on a Monday…

I think this photo looks like an impressionist painting….it makes me happy!  I have a love affair with the sky….and I always have.  I used to stare at the clouds, as a child, and pretend I was up there - in their “fluffiness”……….I still have my head in the clouds, most days.

I’ve set aside today to look for my little shopping cart girl. I’ve been dreaming about her a lot lately…and this post reminded me that sometimes dreams can inspire us to work harder - that I can’t ever forget those who can’t help themselves.

I have this dream that, maybe someday, my little shopping cart girl will be able to stare at the clouds too, and dream her little girl dreams…. 

…and maybe I can help her make one or two come true.

That would really be a dream to me.

Peace.

Got Junk?

….and I don’t mean “in the trunk”….but I digress!

So, I’m going through the house…and GARAGE (there really should be some kind of WARNING signs on the door)

- anyway, I’m going through my junk trying to find things to sell at the yard sale on Saturday….

If you’ve checked out “The Women of C3″ site, then you know I plan to sell everything I can get my hands on at the Avalon Park Yard Sale this Saturday (Oct. 4th / 8am to noon) with all the proceeds going to aid the family that is moving here from Cuba. (Read previous blog).

Anyway, if any of you have junk…..stuff……whatever that you would like for me to “move” for you, please let me know.  I’d be happy to unload your junk and it will help me help others in the process - IT’S A WIN/WIN!

So, just give me a holler if you want to get rid of your junk…

….no promises when it comes to the “in the trunk” kind, I’ve got my own issues there…

…but I digress!

Peace out.

Where your heart is…

It’s Monday…

I often find it hard to get outside my own head on Monday…so, I’m going to be intentional today.

There are more important things to think about besides myself.

Byron preached about this yesterday @ C3...about denying yourself, taking up your cross and following.

With this in mind, I’m thinking that the best way for me to get my eyes off of myself is to focus on others.  And there are so many others to focus on…

There is a young lady in our church that has moved to The States from Cuba.  I found out yesterday that the rest of her family will join her soon.  Especially in light of the hurricanes, but also because of where they are coming from, they will arrive with very little…if anything…in their possession.  There are two boys coming - one 14 and one 5 who will be in desperate need of all the things boys need…from clothes to basic supplies.  Also, the home in which they will be living will be full - 10 people in 1 house! - so there is a great need for basic supplies to make a busy household run….

So, I’m focused…on this immediate need - on what I can do to help….

…and I’m asking you to consider joining me.

I’m going to also be posting more details of my plan to help this family on “The Women of C3″ blog site.  We have taken the summer off, but are now ready to swing back into action.  Please check out the site and leave your email - details are on site - for further updates.

The most graceful barbarians know...LOVE WINS!

The most graceful barbarians know...LOVE WINS!

I know we can make a difference in this family’s  life…

…their need can make our own troubles pale by comparison.  I need that today…a focus on others rather than myself.

I’m remembering today that “where my treasure is…my heart will be also”.

After all, it’s all about love…

…and LOVE WINS…every time.

Peace.
