World Aids Day

By Chuck (Sharing Compassion)

December 1st is World Aids Day. As you know my passion is children and it incredible to find out that each day, about 1,000 children worldwide become infected with HIV, the vast majority of them newborns. I wanted to do a post about this crisis but found out there is just so much information out there that it may be easier to give you some links and let you do some homework. There are many groups that are attempting to make a difference such as Samaritan's Purse. Obviously my take today is going to be Compassion based since I work with them. There is no organization that is better than another! This is the work of the enemy and all of us are called by Christ to Make a Difference. I encourage you to get informed and to see what you can do on any level to make a difference. How much do you really know about aids? Here is a link to a short quiz from Compassion's website that can get you better informed.

Finally if you are interested in finding out about Compassion's Aids Initiative here is a link to a video that will give you some great information about what they do.
 
No matter what, December 1st is World Aids Day- will you get involved and Make a Difference??

Are You Ready?

By Chuck (Sharing Compassion)

Let me ask a question-Are you preparing for what God might want you to do? When the Spirit says, "Go" or "Do" will you be ready? I have found that life is a grand adventure. Doors may close but others always open. God is always working in our lives. He has a master plan and we won't know the final result until our time here on Earth is done. However that does not mean we should rest on our laurels and do nothing.

If you look at Acts 13:1-5 the church at Antioch was worshiping and fasting while waiting on word from the Spirit about which direction they go and who should be sent. They were eager and waiting. How different should that be for us? Do we listen for God's promptings. Are we tuned in to what He would have us do. Often the noise of everyday life crowds out what we should be hearing. Sometimes in our circumstances we think that he might be finished with us but really a finish is just a beginning.
