Do you want to be poor?
Does anyone ever aim to be poor?
It’s not usually our goal . . . even if Jesus did say:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 5:3
We typically want more (of whatever), not less.
I sat in a metal chair underneath a tent last Saturday morning for Outdoor Church. It’s a once-a-month service for the homeless and poor in our community, followed by a free meal. One of my friends, Brenda, sat beside me.

I’m writing today at Do Not Depart for our #WhereIsGod series.
Will you join me there for the rest of the story?
Heading over there!
I am glad to hear your colonoscopy turned out *free* I wish I could give you a triumphant hug. Thank God for His tender mercies. I am so grateful for you, Lisa.
God Bless
Well done Lisa! What a thought provoking post. I love this powerful reminder of God’s provision. Since the stroke, I have learned the true meaning of being prosperous in Christ. For years I thought it was defined by my bank balance and other things but my dependence on God has made me more prosperous than ever before. I have peace as my relationship with God grows stronger each day. I may not always understand His plan but I trust Him. My apartment is smaller and my pain is difficult at times but because of Jesus’ grace I am rich in Him! Thanks for sharing this inspirational post. Have a wonderful weekend and may God bless you and yours!
