For those in the US or Canada wanting to gather items together to tangibly show love to in the worst humanitarian crisis since World War II, connect with one of these local refugee resettlement offices – here is a list of 26 World Relief offices located in the US. 

They are in need supplies and items for newly arrived refugees into the US who are setting up new lives. And especially as winter starts, they will be in need of new coats, shoes, and so much more. If Each One — Does One Thing.

Dear Little Lies that are keeping us up late:

Yes, you Lies that are telling us it’s not going to turn out okay,

that God won’t be enough, that this mountain ahead of us is too high, that we’re going to fail, mess up, blow it, lies that give us no rest — well, guess what, Little Lies?

The Truth is that God’s got us, that He’s bigger than any mountain, He can make a road through any ocean,

He’s in us & with us & for us & He is enough, so we will always have & be enough — and His absolute perfect love for us kicks all you Little Lies & all you Lying Fears right to the curb.

So consider yourself busted, Little Lies & Lying Fears:

When His Love’s got a hold of you?

There isn’t a lie in the universe that can pull you apart. 

Love has a hold of us — so you fear & the lies really don’t.

Love,

The Free & Absolutely Safe Us. ‪

Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.

Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
