He sees His people and He loves them all equally and we are called to help all those in need regardless of where they live. People are in need everywhere in varying degrees, but helping any person in any way you can will make a difference and will also be pleasing to God.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986369919051640964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1269431956658509659.post-19250415148331396222011-07-13T11:46:56.534-04:002011-07-13T11:46:56.534-04:00I agree. I wasn't so much arguing as supplemen...I agree. I wasn't so much arguing as supplementing. God's love knows no bounds, therefore neither should ours! God loved and helped Jews and Gentiles, the rich and the poor, the outcasts, the untouchables. His love spread from its origins the Middle East to us in the US and somehow Americans think we are more entitled to it than everyone else...then again Americans think that about everything. And the fact of the matter is, most of the people who would accuse you of denying the needs of your countrymen aren't doing anything for their fellow American's themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1269431956658509659.post-77904290075242230322011-07-13T11:25:44.187-04:002011-07-13T11:25:44.187-04:00How embarassing!

I would absolutely agree with you that the fact that this program is coming under attack is appalling. And I will continue to support counter-efforts, I'm just tired of hearing that I'm somehow doing my country a disservice by choosing to help others. <br /><br />Patriotism is so disturbing sometimes. It's all well and good to want to serve others, but only if serving Americans.I have to believe that the God I worship would not be okay with this.Kaity B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11121029548598878286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1269431956658509659.post-68510201318595335502011-07-13T11:03:39.051-04:002011-07-13T11:03:39.051-04:00I can very much relate and for the most part I agr...I can very much relate and for the most part I agree. The problem with the poor here is that our society has been built upon the idea of personal responsibility. Ie: the American dream or "God helps those who help themselves". Many of them are not aware of the services our government provides and if they are many are much too proud to take the help. I saw it over and over with families I worked with. Plus the systems we have are continually coming under attack. Recently a bill was passed to cut funding to Planned Parenthood. Now what are these women going to do that cannot afford birth control or can't afford to go to the doctor? Our society needs a reform of the heart and mind, which goes along with your point that we cannot just lookout for ourselves.<br /><br />I've totally lost my train of thought so I'll wrap up my rant. Lol. Also I'm disappointed in you! It was Max at the dinner scene, not Jude! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
