I know a few people who have been so blessed by that program.<br /><br />Compassion International taught me that when helping someone, don't give at expected intervals and don't do something for them that they can do themselves. I think this is a good standard to help and be a blessing, without encouraging dependence.<br /><br />Praying for you as you grieve your precious Jonathan. I know leading that program will help you a great deal, but it will also bring forward those desperately sad thoughts. At least in the group there will be no judgement--no one saying you should be over this by now. Six months is still very fresh grief!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741646073555849828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814114731786461812.post-14724565063613127272012-09-13T22:48:57.109-04:002012-09-13T22:48:57.109-04:00I have felt that tug also. Just last night we were...I have felt that tug also. Just last night we were in a baby loss support group and there was a couple that had just lost there baby two weeks ago. All i could think was I wish I had some money to give them. I know how hard it was to cook in those first weeks and her husband had probably been off work. How many times I felt that tug to give but have not, i wonder what blessings I have missed by not listing to the holy spirit. On the same not different tune I have also said yes to things like you are talking about i picked up two kids from school for a year, it was exhausting and I ended up feeling taken advantage of. There is a fine line and I would say the most needed thing is to hear the voice of the Lord. Love your thankful list I really need to start doing one once a week also although I thin you do it twice a week. As always you inspire me!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14497636907002853665noreply@blogger.com
