If You Have Two Shirts
Yes, there's more to this 'daily' than just asking for you to donate to help the tornadoes victims. Read on.......
Luke 3:11
"John replied, 'If you have two shirts, give one to the poor. If you have food, share it with those who are hungry'.”
The devastations left by tornadoes and floods are nothing short of horrible. There are thousands of people whose homes were flattened, destroyed, or left completely uninhabitable, not to mention they are now jobless because where they worked was also left completely destroyed. Situations like this are when we, as Christians, need to step up, and fly to aid these people, whether you can donate small or large, clothes which are perfectly good but you don't wear anymore, non-perishables, baby needs, pet needs, etc. Then, there's a need for NEW underwear.
"Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless.
Give clothes to those who need them,
and do not hide from relatives who need your help."
or large. If you donate to the Red Cross, be sure to write check to the AMERICAN RED CROSS, and write on the check: for Alabama, Mississippi,
or Missouri tornado relief - or whichever state you want to the money to go to. If you don't do this, there's really no telling where your donation will end up. Also, Samaritans Purse (P.O. Box 3000, Boone, NC 28607, (828) 262-1980 to ask how to donate the exact state you want). Then, there's Operation Blessings through CBN.com. Phone (800) 759-0700 for more information.

Galatians 6:2 - "Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ."
Just today, the following article was on the 'front page' of our local Fox Network.
As you know, we live in Alabama, and I'm so proud of our Governor and our state.
Alabama Governor Robert Bentley is reaching out to Joplin, Missouri. He called Missouri's governor Monday morning to offer condolences and help.
Bentley says he knows what Governor Jay Nixon is going through. He also says Alabama officials have learned many lessons that might help speed Missouri's recovery.
"We are very saddened by the pictures we see there, because if you take Joplin, Missouri and you put it in Tuscaloosa or Pratt City or Marion County, they're all the same," said Bentley. "God help them, provide them help like we've had here. It's been awesome how God has poured out its blessings"
FEMA is mobilizing workers to send to Joplin, Missouri. Officials say this will not affect the relief effort in Alabama. A spokesperson says FEMA representatives will remain in Alabama as long as needed.
