I believe God has permitted us to be in this situation to help others. Maybe thoughts like 'you just don't understand', and 'If you were in our shoes you wouldn't rejoice' might be aimed at someone who smiles as they walk by with a 'job', but we are 'with them' at the moment. <BR/><BR/>I just read a super good quote this morning along these lines. "Gratitude, rejoicing, benevolence, trust in God's love and care, -- these are health's greatest safeguard."

Will we see a class uprising against illegal immigration? Will we see riots out of frustration.<BR/><BR/>And more importantly, how will the church respond? Your post gives us some good ideas.<BR/><BR/>David<BR/>www.redletterbelievers.comRed Letter Believershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18028834960447509536noreply@blogger.com
