Want some pure religion? The Bible says that pure religion is taking care of widows and orphans in their distress. (James 1:27)
These days, in this country, it’s hard to find a truly distressed widow, but they are around if we look. So look. 🙂
And orphans are everywhere.
What? Yes.
There are permanent and temporary orphans in every city.
They are the children in foster care.
“Okay,” you say, “But what can I do? I don’t know any orphans personally.”
Give to foster agencies. They are constantly in need of funding to help these kids. “Giving Tuesday” is now, if you have to have a designated day!
Or be a foster parent. Some of you have never had your life touched by an orphan, but you feel like doing the right thing . . .
So get some true religion and do it.
Look in the phone directory for an agency, or donate through Amazon Smile, which gives 5% of your purchases to a charity of choice. Here are two great ones if you are so inspired: Pathway Caring for Children and Beyond Trauma and Attachment. (The latter is not a foster agency but helps families who are raising foster and adoptive children from trauma situations.)
May you be truly blessed as you bless the less fortunate around you! 😀 Nealie

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
The Christian organization Samaritans purse are some of the 1st people that the refugees see as they get off their small life boats in Greece. I am sure there are widows and orphans in that bunch also. They come with only the shirts on their backs.
I recently watched that video on Facebook. Thanks for sharing, Sherree 🙂
