Pure Religion Is This...

The definition of pure religion is found in James 1:27

 "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."

At first blush it may seem that this verse is about visiting those in need in the literal sense.  While I believe being available and comforting is a start I believe that this verse is a command to meet the needs of the fatherless and widows.  This is very dear to my heart.

I am thrilled about a new ministry, called GLEANING the HARVEST, that givesthe opportunity to meet families and do something about it! I would ask that if you can give a little bit here and there to do so and if you cannot...  then please at least get the word out by adding icons to your blog and blogging about this wonderful ministry!

 

The current families (click on their icons to read their stories):

Lirettes  Charlene

 Vicki  Norris

 

Every little bit will be a blessing and make sure to pray for each of these families everyday!

Mom, you need to write a new entry!!! I need to also!

I found this icon on Jocelyn's blog and it says "Her children will arise and call her blessed." I thought it would look great on your blog! Maybe I could put it on for you later.

Here is the code:

My name is Christina. I am 40 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 19 years! (It will be 20 in March 2010!) My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (17), Jordan (15 ), Ian (13.5), and Noah (11)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (9) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 13th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
