Every morning on my way to work I listen to KLOVE.
Every morning.
I can't get the day off to a good start without it.
It's my personal time with God.
This is when I do my "talks" with him.
Even though he does not verbally respond....I know he hears me.
Anyway, a few weeks ago the radio station was asking its listeners to donate water filters to families in Africa through a company called Compassion.
For $50 you can make sure that a family has clean drinking water for a year....a year!!!
This really struck a nerve in me.
I normally don't get involved with outside fundraisers other than my own church, but I felt like I had to help in some way.
What if it were me in that situation?? No clean water to drink?? No clean water for my family to drink??
Sometimes I complain so much about petty things. If I go too long without eating ( I am talking 2 or 3 hours tops), I consider myself STARVING!!
Get a grip! These families go days without food or water!! Who am I to complain?? I have everything I need and more!!
So I felt like I should take what God has blessed me with to help someone else.
I will never know what family received the filter that I purchased...but I know this...
the name on the "from" section on the box was not The O'Neal's...
it was purchased in Jesus' name.
And that's all they need to know:)

You won't be sorry to did:)
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink...Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. - Matthew 25:35, 40
