If a family offered to help you with housework/yardwork for free, would you accept it? Why? or Why
Our family REALLY wants to help our fellow Americans and have posted ads on Craigslist offering free help, but NO ONE has responded. What are we doing wrong? We love helping non-profits, but KNOW there are some regular people out there that could use a helping hand. Perhaps they just don't have access to CL ads?
I had not read your add, and wish you were living in the city of Loma Linda (CA), because my brother and his three children certainly need help in the cooking and cleaning. After his divorce, he found out he has diabetes, and still works long hours to provide for his family, specially for the ex wife wants, and he has a real hard time coming back home at the evening and having to cook and cleaning. One child lives with him but the other two come home often.
If you know of a kind person who is on her 50's or 60's, and likes to feel wanted, that would be such a great help to my brother!
thanks

I would like to start a discussion to help everyone that is struggling with the desire to help the poor and might feel guilty for having more than others. There's got to be a balance, I think.1 Timothy 5:8 states, "But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own...

I know I enjoy helping others and yes I will help someone if I need help. I know if I don't then I can never receive a harvest. So I will begin by planting seeds so that I may reap my benefits from it. And I don't just do it to benefit from,I do it out of L-O-V-E! I dont think some people know...
