The Lord points the way - to immeasurably more

Now to Him Who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21)

A new direction. Post cancer, post vacation. I finally settled down to seek the Lord for a new or refreshed calling. I listed all kinds of options. The one He calls me to – is drawing. Some of you know I have done this in the past. Without a whole lot of success in selling them as blank note cards. I didn’t do it to bring in money but to encourage people to let others know they are remembered through thick and thin. But it never really took off – call it the changing of the times if you will. Who does much snail mail anymore, right? So my interest in spending time drawing waned because I couldn’t see a purpose. And yet, God seems to be calling me to pursue again that very thing.

So, as I prayerfully sat to listen to God and heard Him speak this idea to me, for some strange reason I got up and selected a devotional book I’d been given years ago but never read. And there on the very first page it talks about giving real help; creating whatever you can and to use your special gifts to help our fellow human beings. It went on to share a story of a woman who designed t-shirts and sold them to earn money to give to flood victims.

Why would that story come to me now? After years on a shelf?

So I am pursuing what the Lord has dropped into my lap. I think I will establish a fund for a different charity each month – some worthy cause – and give all but one dollar to it for each card order I receive. And watch the Lord do some unimaginable thing …

Now, I need some thoughts, suggestions, feedback on what charities to consider. Please help me out. You can send a comment below.
