doing good

Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.

Romans 12:21 NLT

This morning I stepped through a boundary.  I had recently prayed that I might do more for the homeless, the orphans etc. I went for a walk after breakfast, down where I have not been for a while. There was a small car parked near the council area. It looked filled with personal possessions. I walked by but felt convicted that I had  spare bed and could help. I went to the car and discovered a mature aged woman and asked if she was homeless. She said she was. I invited her home for breakfast, a shower and a room for the duration. She gratefully accepted. It meant my office had to be cleared out and  a single bed installed. I pushed and shoved furniture, carted books and folders to my garage.  I had almost finished by the time the woman returned from visiting our social services office. 

Needless to say I have one very grateful boarder. She is able to pay some rent, and now she wants to come to  church. I am sure that a church that teaches its people to love the downcast is appealing. The best part is she will come to know the Lord. Amen!
