 "Finish your dinner!  Think of the poor children who have to do without!" my mother used to admonish. She always thought of the less fortunate, even though we ourselves were poor.
    In the wintertime, she told me that many children suffered because their parents couldn't afford warm clothes for them. One bitter-cold day, I had an epiphany. If everyone opened the doors and windows and let the heat escape from their homes, the outside would warm up and no one would freeze!
    My childlike reasoning offered a simple solution to the plight of the poor, though not an effective one. Our heating bills would skyrocket! However, my idea had merit. What would happen if we opened the doors of our hearts, and let the warmth of God's love escape? Would the poor in spirit feel the heat of God's unconditional love? God constantly replenishes our love supply, so giving generously won't drain our resources.
    God's love . . . there's plenty of it to go around.

Warm another by sharing God's love.
