Helen Steiner Rice said: “The more you LOVE, the more you’ll find that life is good and friends are kind…and only what we give away enriches us from day to day.”
Oh, if only everyone in the world would live by this advice. Then the people in the world would not be suffering.
There is plenty of food, so no one should be starving.
There is plenty of clean water so no one should be thirsting.
There is plenty of everything, but it is not being distributed evenly.
When I go into a grocery store, I am overwhelmed by the abundance of food available and the variety that there is from which to choose.
When I see all the bottled water on the shelves, I think about those who NEED clean water to drink and don’t have it.
The same with clothing. When I go into a Department Store and see all the clothes that are available, it is heart rending to think that there are people who have no clothes to wear, except rags.
Even in the Thrift Stores there is an abundance of clothes and shoes and many other items that someone didn’t want or need anymore.
I wish there were an organization that I could give food and water and clothing to and that I KNEW that it would be distributed to those who needed it.
There is only ONE organization that I donate money to because I know FOR SURE that it will be used to help disaster victims.
Here is a link: You will be able to see how people all over the world are being helped.
In dozens of countries, Jehovah’s Witnesses provide assistance in times of need. This is an expression of love, an identifying mark of true Christians.
