so sweet

[Sister Alvear]

Something so sweet happened this afternoon. I mentioned in an earlier post someone came and said some of the babies were at the door hungry. It turned out there were 4 of them and Brother Alvear took them to the airport to "play" on the escalator and get them a sandwich instead of buying lunch meat that he thought he was going to do and then let them watch the planes. After a while he told them he would take them back to where they stay...they got in the car and they said, Pawpaw we need to go see Mawmaw...she missed church last night and we are worried! ( Even though it was Sunday I was having a 24 hour test and could not leave the house.) . So he brought them once again to the house and I went with Brother Alvear to take them to where they get off...So sad...the babies kissed and kissed me and said Maw maw please don't die....they were in church when Brother Alvear told what happened to me....
The poor babies...I love them so much....thanks for all those that help us to fed them...tomorrow they will be back to check on maw maw...and of course eat....what they don't know a helper came today and made a big pot of meaty soup for them...
A lot of things people do that God did not tell us to do...but He did teach us to share our bread....

Matthew 25:35-40New King James Version (NKJV)

35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

Isaiah 58:10-12 NLT

10 Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon. 11 The LORD will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. 12 Some of you will rebuild the deserted ruins of your cities. Then you will be known as a rebuilder of walls and a restorer of homes.

1 John 3:17-18 (ESV)

But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
