Blessed to be a Blessing

By Ann Dunagan

“I was naked, and you gave me clothing…” Matthew 25:36

Amid twisted hangers, bulging drawers, and way too many clothes, the kids and I began our major closet-cleaning attack. It took days–with sacks for the dumpster and sacks to give away. Best of all, we finished just in time before I left on a short-term missions trip to Uganda.

Soon I was surrounded by orphans adorned in only rags and ripped-up shirts, and often with bare bottoms. I thought of these precious children and my family’s ridiculous “conquered” closets. Then I felt the Lord whisper, “I’m the One naked on these street!” Immediately, I went and bought armloads of children’s clothing, but the situation turned pathetic. Mothers came from everywhere, holding up naked babies and begging for help. The need was beyond me.

Back home, our family raised funds to clothe that whole village, and this year, we even started an orphanage. The world’s need is huge, but it’s not beyond God!

Let’s show our kids that we’re blessed
so we can turn and be a blessing!
