"That he may defend the oppressed among the people, save the children of the poor and crush the oppressor." Psalms 72:4
God has no hands but yours - read on from Mac, He is living this verse and wrote the reflection with his actions.

Brothers, just a note today of how our Lord works in different and caring ways.

1 John 4:4b
"The one that is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."
This morning at Primera food pantry we ran out of bagged groceries. Out of no-where an old beat up car arrived and I went up to the ragged man driving it and told him we were out of groceries to give out. He then explained to me he was there to give instead of receive. In his car was over 300 dollars in canned soups. He said he recently found Christ and now wanted to help others just as Christ does. Praise God!
After he left a homeless couple showed up whose car was out of gas down the street and asked if we had a couple of bucks for some gas. Janet and I had not one dollar on us, but scooped up about 60 cents in change. That 60 cents was welcomed by them and thanked us greatly. We felt bad and I told them I would go to the bank and get some gas money. It looked as they lived in their car and they had no coats on in the drizzle and cold weather. Before I could get to the bank, a brand new jeep pulled up with a women who had some new coats to donate to the needy. She immediately saw this homeless couple's needs , and had some new women and men's coats. She gave them the coats and also some money for a motel . I asked her who she was and her reply was "I am the women who just was driving by at the right time" This was and example of humble giving and not letting the right hand know what the left was doing.
One last thing --On leaving the site there was a brand new T-shirt on the hood of my truck. On the front of it is an image of Christ's suffering face on the cross. Don't know who put it there but my eyes were opened on just what Christ has done for all of us. Praise our Lord. Mac
Dear Lord, may we be living witnesses of Your gospel in actions. Amen.
Mary, Mother of All, pray for us.
