Don't forget to count your blessings....

We were so very blessed with a call this morning from a sweet woman named Korea, she is 60 years old, lives with her husband and 19 year old son. She is really struggling right now, but we talked and prayed together this morning for about a half hour and she explained repeatedly how grateful she was for her home, her neighbors, her family, and her church family, and the list went on...I was interested so I looked up her address. The view from her front porch is pictured below...needless to say I was humbled. 

Her needs that "I HEARD" during our talk were Food, Clothes, Rent, Furniture, Household Items, Gas and Tires for her van. What she "ASKED" for was...food. She has a very strict diet of low sodium for her heart and only gets $20 per month in food stamps because she doesn't have any small children. We are sending her a $40 Kroger card, job listings for her son and husband, grocery list for her to purchase low sodium items and food pantries in her area but I would still love to bless her with more! Please keep her in your prayers, she is so sweet! If you would like to directly help her, you can make a donation in the name of "Korea" on our webpage. Thank you and don't forget to count your blessings today, unfortunately they are easy to overlook sometimes.
