Thank You, Claudia!

This award was given to me by Claudia, of Claudia's Place, and I appreciate it very much!

I may not be deserving of it really, but thanks again, Claudia, for passing it on to me!

Later, I will pass it on to a few others, too!

If A Brother Or A Sister

"If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,' and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled, notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body, what doth it profit?" James 2:15-16 KJV

No, I'm not trying to get preachy, but there is one who is in need right now. Maybe she's not destitute, in the sense that one thinks of destitution, but she is in dire need of some immediate relief.

Our friend, Karen, of ksquest, has a real need, and I, for one, want to do what I can to help. She thinks she is undeserving of it, but I couldn't disagree more. She is a good, caring person, who thinks nothing of giving her all to help others in need.

I've been in tight spots before, without the slightest idea of what to do, and nowhere to turn. It's not a pleasant thing to go through, and sometimes just too humiliating to ask for help, but there are those on here, I know, with hearts big enough to want to do so. Go here to My Garden Spot to find one of them, and to find out more about k's plight.

We love you, k!
