Are You Hungry Now?

Bible in a Year : Job 20–21; Acts 10:24–48

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? James 2:14

Thomas knew what he needed to do. Having been born to a poor family in India and adopted by Americans, upon a return trip to India he witnessed the dire needs of the children in his hometown. So he knew he had to help. He began making plans to return to the US, finish his education, save a lot of money, and come back in the future.

Then, after reading James 2:14–18 in which James asks, “What good is it . . . if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds?” Thomas heard a little girl in his native country cry out to her mother: “But Mommy, I’m hungry now!” He was reminded of the times he had been intensely hungry as a child—searching through trash cans for food. Thomas knew he couldn’t wait years to help. He decided, “I’ll start now!”

Today the orphanage he began houses fifty well-fed and cared-for children who are learning about Jesus and getting an education—all because one man didn’t put off what he knew God was asking him to do.

James’s message applies to us as well. Our faith in Jesus Christ provides us with great advantages—a relationship with Him, an abundant life, and a future hope. But what good is it doing anyone else if we don’t reach out and help those in need? Can you hear the cry: “I’m hungry now”?

Reflect & Pray

What needs around you touch your heart? What’s one thing you can do to help others—even if it seems insignificant?

Direct my steps, O God, toward the actions You want me to take to help someone in need. Thank You for allowing me to be a part of Your work on earth.

In the last years with President Trump's detente with North Korea, the remains of several of those lost at the Chosin Reservoir have been identified and returned to their families here in the US. There are still hundreds from the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir that still need to be identified and buried at home. This was one brave Marine of the hundreds that fought at the Reservoir.

Howdy, Kathy.

I hope the wind has shifted so y’all can have a break from the smoke. I keep checking the radar in hopes of seeing rain at the park but nothing significant so far. :-(

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Hat tip to

Thank you, Star (and Ma) for preparing
the Canteen for today's activities.

Popping in to say hello and Hat tip to our heroes.
We had some cool thunderstorms roll past on Saturday night, and
drop much needed rain on the homestead.
Of course, the old dog didn't care too much for it.
Today will be a bit cooler than the last week.
Hubby being off is throwing my schedule off.
But I'm going to put him to work with honey-dos.

Gonna get ready for our day.
But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!

Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM ~ DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
