Did you know that ...Here by way of #1000 Speaks...<br /><br />Did you know that "Feed the Birds" was Walt Disney's personal favorite? It's in the extras of the DVD... I don't remember if it was one of the songwriters, or producers, but there's a clip of someone explaining how "Uncle" Walt expressed openly that he thought that song, right there, was the crux and summary statement of the movie.jaklumenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345447676400281082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28288618.post-77499362141069196682015-02-22T16:53:05.190-05:002015-02-22T16:53:05.190-05:00Mindy,

Jesus uses us to be His hands and feet, to love others in His name, to show kindness and compassion. The poor in spirit are everywhere if we just (preaching to myself here...) keep our eyes open. (PS: What a cute Mary Poppins she made and your beautiful daughter sure looks like her beautiful mama)Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612406279237224676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28288618.post-27498973271674083352015-02-21T10:58:43.608-05:002015-02-21T10:58:43.608-05:00Oh Karmen!!

And sadly, although I love Brian's comment, we must also be aware that many of those people we must tend to are the saved. Needing the body of our Living God to lift them up and carry them in their time of need. Christians aren't always pretty, amiright? :)<br /><br />Look PAST what you SEE!! LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Unfortunately, these people are unsaved, un-redeemed goats. We shouldn't be surprised when, as goats, they act like goats. What we need to do when we encounter people like the worker at your house or the clerk at the store is to see Jesus standing behind them holding a big sign that reads, "Here's another person who needs Me."

It's hard to do, and scary sometimes, but it is the best way to live.<br />I had completely forgotten that scene from Mary Poppins.
