I'...In regards to your daughter, I am SO SORRY. I've had some tough, tough kids to love in a couple of callings and I can relate to wanting to throw in the towel. But I never did with anyone. Quite frankly, it was more important for your daughter to go, then for the Young Women's president to go. The Young Women's program is more for your daughter's sake, then the president. So the program should have been remolded to fit her, as in find someone who could connect with her. Just my humble opinion. Especially if she was still willing to come at all.<br /><br />I have a different perspective on giving to homeless people or anyone begging for money. Charity can be mixed with wisdom. I give assistance in the form of food or other means, but I no longer give money. I've seen first-hand, my donations go to liquor. After the last very visible time, I realized I was enabling their addictions. And if there are food missions, shelters and such available, it is more likely that the money is enabling what causes the greatest suffering. Use care, love and your wisdom in giving, because their judgment is usually quite impaired.<br /><br />Blessings and thanks for your beautiful thoughts and for your daughter's experience. That's a hard one.Shawnie Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946452194530364165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301093217529638144.post-88599289729406856562011-05-03T20:10:40.353-07:002011-05-03T20:10:40.353-07:00We are not to be the judges, no.

Because as you said, and as Jesus said in Luke while visiting with Zaccheaus, a doctor visits the sick. <br />Thanks for sharing your heart here.Hyacynthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08838590548747956315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301093217529638144.post-76692989465967586872011-05-03T13:21:40.407-07:002011-05-03T13:21:40.407-07:00Thank you for pointing us to the example that Jesu...Thank you for pointing us to the example that Jesus was in reaching out to those in need.

I served with a RS Pres. that decided that one sister's house was too dirty to have Visiting Teachers. I was saddened by that.Later on I convinced her to assign Visiting Teachers again. Since then I have been friends with her and she has a really difficult life. It is so true we should not judge; but help those in need that is exactly what Christ expects of us. <br />Blessings to you!LeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107717294803352571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301093217529638144.post-90887426158682855932011-05-02T21:36:12.816-07:002011-05-02T21:36:12.816-07:00What powerful and true words you wrote here today....What powerful and true words you wrote here today.

You are right. Jesus accepted everyone, and so should we. It isn't always easy, but the more we get to know someone, the easier it is to see what our Heavenly Father sees. Your poor daughter who had to suffer through that. I can't imagine that pain.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14796161900653422174noreply@blogger.com
