I do give money occasionally. What they choose to do with it is their choice. You acted correctly. Unfortunately, they don't always choose wisely, but at least you can lay your head down knowing that you tried your best.tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089105047115114848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645259015777233054.post-30372033361273837962008-07-06T17:38:00.000-07:002008-07-06T17:38:00.000-07:00ALOHA DEB!

Ben's wife, Jamie, is here visiting for a few weeks so she can get me started.(I am very technically challenged, my girls have to help me with my blog. . . ) I also just called to primary and it has been a fun change. The grandchildren are the most fun I've ever had. And their parents are just as adorable! It just keeps getting better all the time. <BR/>Love ya to pieces, Lissacraigandlissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277346239971839433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645259015777233054.post-12899650080347826662008-07-04T07:56:00.000-07:002008-07-04T07:56:00.000-07:00♥Have A Happy 4th Of July♥♥Have A Happy 4th Of July♥Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645259015777233054.post-178262370001480582008-07-03T17:20:00.000-07:002008-07-03T17:20:00.000-07:00Debbie its Brittany (long) Asay!

He was oftened approached by beggars. He would never leave anyone hungry. However he never gave money. He said when he did they would buy alchohol or drugs. So I agree if she really didn't want to be fed than You did the good deed of offering.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15227823705781134107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645259015777233054.post-19671265579726204692008-07-01T20:10:00.000-07:002008-07-01T20:10:00.000-07:00We do begger bags.

We keep the bag in the car and when someone is in need, we hand them out. It is great to do for family home evening. I will post about this further on my blog. Thanks for the great post. <BR/><BR/>PS I am with you and Spencer. El Pollo Loco rocks.

The lady teaching has her own web-site and is quite wealthy after teaching for years. She told us that money has a cycle: one of the places it needs to go is towards donations-before it comes back to us! When it completes this cycle, it doesn't matter who you hand it to(out of the family) it will return again. Her web-page is- www.smartcentsinc.com She has a category for tithing too. I love her book because it makes sense :)Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218631401448995834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645259015777233054.post-86384814112256257142008-06-30T22:50:00.000-07:002008-06-30T22:50:00.000-07:00I have never ever thought of that before.

I have a great story about just this and how prayer works in situations like that. I think I'll post about it.<BR/><BR/>We really can not be the ones to make the final decision of who really needs it and who doesn't. We just be and do the best we can. I have not given though when the spirit tells me. But that isn't always the case either.<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed this post. I learned something really new, and I love that.
