Today is an extra special day.

 We get to.

I’m not being funny or silly or goofy.

Do you realize that much of the world has nothing to their name?

Nothing.

Really.

 They don’t have a spare set of sheets in their closet.
Gracious – they don’t even have a bed for that matter.

Seriously.

But we have been blessed by Almighty God in ways that we really, truly cannot even comprehend….we have the opportunity to live in some of the wealthiest nations on planet Earth.

Why has God blessed us so?

Could it be cause we’re just so awesome?

Ummm, no.

Not even close.

He has blessed us so that we would bless others.

Our wealth is not to hoard – not a chance!!

It’s to give away.

That’s the only reason why He has blessed us so much!

In fact scripture says, “To whom much has been given, much will be required.”

Yikes.

If we have been given, we are going to have more expected us.

Now some might say, “But Linny, we really don’t have like we used to.  We have very little.”

Come to Africa or Mexico or Nicaragua or Guatamala with me.

That’s where we see what “we have little” truly means.

To those who live in the Western world – our little is still a LOT.

A boatload.

A ton.

And today we have the opportunity to share. 

To give generously.

And you know what God says, “Give and it will be given to you…”

See in God’s economy giving to others means He gives you more. 

Ya’ know why?

Cause He trusts you.

That’s all there is to it. 

So having some financial struggles?

Give away.

Give generously.

And watch what God does.

We have an awesome opportunity to read the links about
some amazing folks who are
 in the process of bringing treasures home.

He will provide to bring each home.

How does He do that?

Through us!

We are HIS hands and feet.

We are going to be praying over the posts below.  We will be giving to some.  Why?  Cause we can’t wait to be part of helping to bring some more treasures home.

Just before our home burned down we were gathering pictures of the little ones that we had helped financially to come home.  We were going to frame them and make a “wall of treasures”.  But that was all lost in the fire. Finally, two years later, I am going to try and go back and remember so that we can re-create our wall of fame.  Seriously, can you imagine much better of a legacy to leave our kids and our grand kids and our great grand kids?
Pictures of kids that God gave us the resources to help bring home.

All glory goes to the God of the Universe, who loves us so much that He gives us this privilege.

If you are someone who is in the process of bringing a treasure{s} home, 
please link below after reading these guidelines.

1.  You must first of all be a friend {meaning your picture is on the sidebar, otherwise, to put it bluntly, I feel like you are stopping by just to use Our Place Called Simplicity}.  It’s not too late to become a friend before you link up.  I am always up for new friends.
2.   Your permalink must be to a fresh post.  Write a post and explain who you are bringing home and what your needs are. 
3.  You must link with a permalink.  If you merely link to your blog, I will be forced to delete your entry.  A permalink is the actual link to the fresh post.  If you check back and find that your post has been deleted, please review these guidelines.
4.  If you are a business that is marketing yourself while giving a portion to raise funds for someone, this is not the post for you.  We are thankful for your help in raising someone’s funds, but what we are looking for today are only people who are bringing treasures home. 

In the mean time, please pray for those posted below.  That God would provide for all their needs and would expedite the process so that their treasures can be home with their forever family quickly!!
