That is taking care of the suffering people out there in the world. It is a practical Gospel that we can't afford to only preach it and sit down. No, we need an action. You may wonder Where can I get them but all I can tell you that you the needy right there in your locality and you can't afford to ignore. the Bible says in so many scriptures in the Bible about helping the Children may be we can look at some these include;- "And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me" Matthew 18:5 "And if anyone who gives a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciples, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward" Matthew 10; 40 "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always sees their face on my Father in heaven" Matthew 18:10 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these" Mark 10:14 He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord and He will reward him what he has done" Proverbs 19:17 Jesus said "feed my lambs"(baby sheep) John 21:15 Suppose someone is without clothes and daily food. If one says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and feel fed; but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? James 2:15,16 "faith without works is dead" James He defended the cause of the poor and the needy, and so all went well. Is this not what it means to know me? Declares the Lord Jeremiah 22:16 "He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors the God." Proverbs 14:31 "Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless."Isaiah 1:17 If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth" 1 John 3:17, 18 With all these Scriptural reverences we can not afford to sit and relax when there a very many children in your locality. Please let us do some thing as a Churcg and individual. Be Blessed Brethrens!!! David I'm so blessed by the story of this young man who most times decided to look at life from the positive point of view. Maybe that is the only thing you need to do to change completely your story. Well Let us Go Straight... Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!" He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do  you do it?" Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or ... you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or ... I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or... I can point out the positive side of life. I Choose the positive side of life." "Yes, it is," Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a  choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect  your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life." I reflected on what Michael said. Soon thereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard that Michael was involved in a serious accident,  falling some 60 feet from a communications tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw Michael about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied. "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place. "...the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going  to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on  the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read "he's a dead man. I knew I needed to take action." "I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead." Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.  "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Learn to be positive at all costs just like Michael Is. David TAKE AN ACTION!

MICHEAL’S STORY
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him,
"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be-born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered  that I had two choices: I could choose to live or ... I could choose to die.  I chose to live."
"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Michael continued,
"What did you do?" I asked.
"Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Michael. "She asked if I was allergic to anything. 'Yes', I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity.' "
Over their laughter, I told them,
