If this is the Lord speaking, I don'...NO WAY!!! If this is the Lord speaking, I don't know what else to say! My kids and I had a discussion 2 hours ago about whether to do another farm project (like we did last year through World Vision to raise enough money to buy a community in a 3rd world country a whole farm) or to make big ziploc bags of items we (and our friends) could keep in our cars to hand out to homeless people on street corners. I've never heard of anyone doing this before and the Lord laid it on my heart months ago. The kids voted for the "blessing bag" idea and now I check my email and see this! All the great ideas laid out for us! Incredible!<br /><br />Just one question, Julie, if you have an opinion. My original idea was to price out all the supplies and come up with a price per bag. Then I wanted to send out an email to friends, family, church, etc. and invite people to join us by purchasing as many kits as they want to make and take. Then I would purchase all the supplies, have everything set up in my garage, and have families come one Saturday in November or December and assemble the bags togther. I also like the idea of having people sign up for different items...from your experience, which do you think would be a better route to go?<br /><br />Thanks for encouraging us along this path! I'm excited!<br />Blessings in Christ,<br />MollyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008426604560109471.post-78944936421203169882012-11-09T09:23:56.473-08:002012-11-09T09:23:56.473-08:00this is such an amazing project!
this has amazing ...this is such an amazing project!<br />this has amazing potential to tangibly share the Gospel with these precious people! it's an honor, really.<br />i love the idea of blessing bags. and i love the idea of sticking a Gospel tract right in there with the gifts as well. <br />there's no greater Gift we can share with them than the One that came down for their brokeness and ours. <br />of course, to be the hands and feet of Jesus, sharing and providing for their physical need as well as their spiritual one is so important to catch their attention.<br />i LOVE this idea! thanks for the reminder(i am basically writing this all to myself, because i seem to forget these things so quickly!)<br />Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16480672396257936931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008426604560109471.post-5297493820713225962012-11-08T16:09:03.459-08:002012-11-08T16:09:03.459-08:00Love this, Julie.

For the third year in a row, I'm still as humbled and grateful for this project as I was at the start because I too so badly need to know my God sees me. Its something that puts us all on an even playing field. Your words on the matter are perfect.
