It is absolutely amazing to me how much can be done with relatively little American money, but oftentimes we're so reluctant to give any of it away. <br /><br />DH and I are trying to think about money in these terms more these days to see how much we can do for other people instead of what we can do for ourselves. We just moved into a different home, and it's very hard not to want new things when we're trying to make everything look just right. Sigh. It certainly is a challenge.

Our God is Awesome and we need to be Awed at what he does. Every time we have had an opportunity to feed people, our faithful God shows us his will. His fingerprints are everywhere. Please tell everybody that they are welcome to come here and help us feed the children. When you do, you will be looking into the eyes of Jesus. He said "whatever you did for the least of these brothers of mine, you have done for me". Feeding the children of Honduras - or anywhere for that matter is feeding Jesus!

Thank you. I actually think you timed it perfectly ... stopping by just as we hit our total... HA! :)<br /><br />Kat - God is SO good. <br /><br />I'd also like to add ... if you didn't give but still would like to, that's great. This amount of food is just a small drop in the bucket of what is needed. Thanks. Stooge/Greg – Your donation to Casa was wonderful. Thank you.

What an awesome blog / FB community. Having just sent a few hundred dollars to help feed children in Honduras and Mexico, we are sort of tapped out, but I was going to scrounge if you still needed more. So glad you've reached the goal!

If I didn't, I wouldn't be living the inspiration the Lord just gave me. Reminds me of that story in Matthew somewhere about "If you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto Me." Or something like that! :) Take care and God bless your efforts! I had to donate! If I didn't, I wouldn't be living the inspiration the Lord just gave me.
