Grateful Dead

was just trying to do the right thing.....ben, i try.....but i know sometimes my faith falls short. i try to attend services daily......don't know if it does anything other than allowing me some quiet time....they say that god never gives you more than you can handle, but sometimes i wish he didn't trust me so much. everyone please pray for tigerlilly....now SHE'S unemployed TOO....and far from home and family

more good thought 4 U, little spanish duck (graznido) quack!!

Johnman, that was the Spirit of God speaking to your heart, working in your life, to meet the need of a brother. Awesome! Giving of yourself, your time, and your resources to others and following the leading of the Sprit of God is wonderful. That man was poor and needy and God was thinking about him, and used you to help him. I read this Psalm: "As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord is thinking about me right now" (Psalm 40:17) May we all have the peace that surpasses understanding, Ben Jesus Loves You The Best! greateststoryevertold.org

as i sat down in my normal pew this morning at mass, trying to compose myself and collect my thoughts amidst my worry and fear, i was approached by a man in the pew to my left. he was wondering if i had a couple dollars to spare, and that he would pay me back monday(???). having been hit on by junkie after junkie and seeing the very same people explode with anger when offered food instead of cash, and being unemployed and a bit desperate, my first response was "hey, sorry...i'm out of work myself". i didn't tell him outright no, i don't like being rude, but he slid away. looking at him out of the corner of my eye i could see he was clean, but wearing clothing that obviously didn't fit....worn out shoes, too small sweats, too large shirt, a little down on his luck but at least keeping himself somewhat presentable. my next thought was "man....how can you bother people in church like that". moments later a feeling of shame swept over me, my eyes are filling with tears now as i remember thinking "john....you asshole...where else should someone turn when in need?" after all, havent i been praying hard everyday and hasn't the lord helped me everytime i've needed it over the last year?... everytime!.... the bible says...ask and ye shall receive. i had a few bucks in my pocket as have been selling a few possessions trying to get by so i pulled out a 5 and when it came time to wish each other a sign of peace prior to communion i slipped it into his hand, after all, but for the grace of god, there go I. the man thanked me and said he would be seeing me again. we are taught to share as children.....how soon we forget. may god forgive me for being a dick, i've been so worried about my own problems i sometimes forget there are others worse off then me. can i afford to give up that much money? no....i can feed my kid on that, one meal at least but we all hafta help each other. please forgive me for taking up so much space here....i just had to get this off my chest.........
