100 Homeless Bags

Nothing Lost Outreach has set a goal for 100 bags to be distributed to the homeless on Christmas Day.

Each person/family can take us one step closer to our goal!

Items needed for homeless bags:

*Bag (My family is using a Wal-Mart Reusable Bag).
*Fleece Blanket (they go on sale throughout the Thanksgiving and Christmas Season!)
*1 Roll of T.P.
*Baby Wipes (Dollar Tree has a 3 pack for $1.00)
*Gloves
*Bottle of Water
*Snack Bag (chips, fruit cups with pop top lid, etc)
*Flashlight (Dollar Tree)
*Batteries (Dollar Tree)
*Hand warmer pack (I saw them at Wal-Mart for $1.47 each at the check out lane.)

Please contact me on fb or via email at thepadens@cox.net if you would like to contribute.

Thank you!

Something I want to share real quick.  Throughout scripture we are told to take care of the poor, the down in out.  In Matthew 25:31-46, we are taught the judgement that will come to those that do not clothe, feed, and give drink to those in need.  What the Lord is revealing to me day in and day out is that the hungry and thirsty, those in need, are you and me.  While society definitely will not agree with me on this, many of the richest people in the world are poorest. 

We are all in need of food, clothing, and drink.

Maybe the Lord doesn't want you serving the homeless. 

Maybe you have been called to serve single mom's; or single dad's; senior citizens . . .  or maybe your family is where God has you serving right now. 

Make a difference in someone's life. 

We are all, every single one of us, are called to clothe, feed and give drink.
