Give to the Poor

 Proverbs 19:17

• Whoever is kind to the poor is lending to the Lord - the benefit of his gift will return to him in abundance. (ISV)  
•  Caring for the poor is lending to the Lord- and you will be well repaid.  (CEV) 
•   If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord, and  He will repay you! (NLT)

What a promise from God.  We all need to look for ways to help others who are poor and buy them pretty things and make sure they are well fed.   Kindness to the poor is a loan to the Lord, and He will give a reward to the lender. (Holman)  I’ve kind of adopted a poor widow to make sure she was enough healthy food, and nice clothes.  I’d like to find other poor widows to be kind to.  A religion that is pure and stainless according to God the Father is this: to take care of orphans and widows who are suffering, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. (James 1:27 ISV) Wouldn't it be fun to start an Adopt a Widow Charity!
