Good News Thinking

A poor woman gave all the money she had.See Luke 21:2.

GivingPeople were hurt and hungry after the giant wavescrashed into their homes.

Who would help them? Some well-known people would.

President Bush asked two past presidents— his father and Mr.Clinton—to help raise money forfood, water, medicine, and shelter.

But many not-so-well-known people would help too.

Daniel gave money from hispiggy bank. Kyle and Jessica soldcupcakes to earn money to give.

Jesus said it is right to give tohelp others.
