We’re studying the book of James right now in Sunday school, and my lesson this morning centered around James 1:9-11.
These verses in James talk about how God views the poor in this world as well as how the rich must remember that their treasures are as fleeting as the flowers on a hot day.
My study led me to many other passages that share about what God expects from the church when it comes to the poor and needy,
and it seemed like a perfect morning to share about this movie, “Abel’s Field.”
In this movie, Seth, a typical teenage boy, is faced with the struggle of trying to juggle three jobs while caring for his two little sisters alone after the death of his mother.
Angry at God, church is a place he goes only to get food for his sisters.
Throughout the movie, Seth is faced with a series of tough situations, including conflict with his only brother who drinks away his pain and provides no support for Seth.
His life continues to unravel until he is left on his knees looking up………..

If you find yourself at the bottom of everything, remember there is still one place to look…..and that is up.
If you would like to enter a drawing for this movie, please leave a comment below with your email address.
I have five copies to give away, so please enter!!!!
Thankful for all of you!
Help someone in need today……
Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord,
and he will reward them for what they have done.
Prov. 19:17
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at
