Just an update.
All of the moms on GTH are working hard to provide for their families. It isn’t enough, though. Two have sewing businesses, one of them drives a school bus, and another mom has a cleaning business and was working in an office for a friend. They are doing what they can and keeping their children home to educate them.
Recently, Karen’s dad had surgery and complications, and she has been taking care of him at his place for over a month. She is in need right now, because this …

Recycling things – also now called upcycling, is a great way to save some money and create things you need out of things you or others no longer do.  I think this is neat, because you can take something you already like and create a new wardrobe with it.
I haven’t been able to do it yet, but I have some little girl shirts just achin’ to become dresses, …

“Wash yourselves, make yourself clean.
Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes;
Cease to do evil. Learn to do well.
Seek justice, Relieve the oppressed, Judge the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.”
Isaiah 1:16-17
Likewise James 1:27 tells us that:
“The religious observance that YHVH the Father considers pure and faultless is this:
to care for orphans and widows in their distress
and to keep oneself from being contaminated by the world.”

Gleaning the Harvest is an online ministry for families who do not have local help and for us to give and to care for them as we are able, but we also want this to become a more local project. We would love to see people look for families in their area to give to personally and build relationships if possible instead of just dropping it off somewhere. How can you be a part of helping?

If you are a single mom, you may be looking for a way to make income at home. Or maybe you are just looking for the best way to feed your family. I want to present a new company on the horizon that may be able to help you do both. Of course, this opportunity is not just for single moms, but for everyone!
Recently we were introduced to a new company that has created a way to purchase organic and healthy foods, and in the midst of all of the …

It is now 2 weeks into the month. Have you tended to the widows and orphans in your community? What are some ways that you can love a local widow or help a single mom and her children?
If you have, “GREAT!”.  That pleases the heart of our Father very much!
If you have not, then take time to seek out a widow in your area and help her prepare her A/C for summer heat. It is such a small thing to do, but something that she may not be able to …

First, let us say that it is amazing to us that we have been helping you in giving to families here on GTH for over 2 years!
In a review of the past ChipIns for the families since 01-2009, we noticed a trend. The trend that we noticed is that giving in months 9 through 2 in both 2009 and 2010 topped out in the 75%-100%+ range, whereas from months 3 through 8 in both years are low giving periods, with less than 50% and down to the teens in giving. …

It continues to be proven that we are what we eat. While the Father gave us strict information about what is to be considered food and what is not, we humans continue to believe that we know more than the Father does. One problem with that, besides the obvious, is that we are just getting sicker and sicker. New diseases crop up, new health issues as well as the old ones getting stronger and stronger. Our children are vaccinated with so many toxic substances by the time they are two, …

I am so blessed each month, as I put up the new donation buttons in the sidebar for the families. I have to go to the giving records to get the info, and it BLESSES ME so much that I have to stop and just praise YHVH for all of your love and giving to these families.
I am astonished.
Every month, I am astonished.
Not at his love.
Not at your giving.
… but at the complexity that he makes simple and the love that he imparts to us.
We are continually on …
