Luke 3:11 says, "He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats,
let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise".-KJV
My interpretation of this scripture is that if you have something
that can help others-whether it be: a tool, a skill, a resource,
a helping hand, an ability to make a difference,
you should use that gift to help others.
I have tried to live my life this way.
Sharing my knowledge of resources in the area
with people and families in need
is my way of giving my "second coat".
I hope these resources are helpful in your time of need. God Bless,
