What does your life point to?

Here I am with littlest sister, Annie.
Hello everybody! This is Clara to update you on Bags of Hope. 

Many months and holidays have passed since my last post.  Life gets so busy!  My and family and I have been well, and had a great summer together; I hope it has been the same with you !


Recently, in our family devotional, we learned about John the Baptist in John 3.  He was used by God to prepare the way for Jesus, and to point to Christ when He arrived.  This should be our goal as well.  In our own lives, we should preach the Gospel by our words and actions.

"He must increase, but I must decrease. "He who comes from above is above all, he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.  "What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony "He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true "For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for He gives the Spirit without measure "The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand."  
John 3:30-35

So this fall season we should all devote ourselves to giving the good news of the gospel to our neighbors, friends, and family who may not know Christ as their Lord and Savior.  And, as always, we should be looking to help those less fortunate than ourselves.  Buying and handing out Bags of Hope is a great way to do this.  Not only are you giving aid to someone in need, but pointing the way to Christ at the same time.  Please check out our 'Order Your Bags' page to find out how to get your Bags of Hope today. 

Starting in November, we will keep you updated with a new post every month.

Blessings to all from,
Clara
