What’s Inspiring You This Week?
Here’s What’s Inspiring Me…

Inspiration From God’s Word
Increase our faith.”
Luke 17:5

Increase Our Faith

Art Credit: Patsy Paterno – Overwhelmed

When disaster strikes – whether it is something that touches us
On a personal, national, or international level –
We often feel small – helpless – afraid.

How do we respond to the cataclysmic events that touch our lives?

In her post Overwhelmed, our friend Patsy at Heartworks writes about
The disaster that is currently impacting her country:

Almost 2/3 of my country, the Philippines,
Was affected by Typhoon Haiyan,
Which combined the effects of an EF 4 tornado
And a tsunami that reached up to the 2nd level of buildings.

When we are inundated with trials, hardships and suffering,
We can ask God to “Increase our faith”.

I invite you to visit Patsy to learn more about how you can support the
Relief efforts in the Philippines and to learn the key to her amazing faith!

Song Of The Week – Hallelujuah
Philippines Tribute – Typhoon Haiyan

Inspire Me Monday

I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!

    Hi Ramona,

    Your words and features today are so very timely, with the upcoming day of thanks and gratitude. Catastrophes such as the typhoon in the Philippines, really do make it seem as if we are, indeed so small, in the huge scheme of things. But, there are ways that each one of us can make a difference in the face of such tragedy.

    Thanks for hosting and have a joyful week!

    Poppy

  17. Cathy Kennedy says:

      Wasn’t she awesome? I have no idea who she is – I wanted to do a musical tribute after reading Patsy’s post and as soon as I heard and saw it – I knew this was the one. She sang so beautifully and movingly. I’ve always loved that song!

      Best of luck in the Chicken Soup giveaway – surprised more people aren’t vying for an opportunity to win a REAL sampler of soup! 🙂

    What sweet inspirations you’ve chosen. Thanks for hosting.

  27. Lots of wonderful inspiration this week. I couldn’t watch the Song of the Week; it gave me an error message. My thoughts and prayers are with the Filipinos, as well as those in Illinois who are putting their lives back together after the tornado. Thanks for hosting, Ramona.

      I’m sorry you had a problem viewing the song Nancy – maybe you can try it again at a different time or on a different browser – sometimes those videos get fluky but it is definitely worth seeing and hearing!

      (If you still have trouble, let me know and I will look it up and send you a direct link!)

  28. I understand the feeling of helplessness. But I always have to remember how powerful prayer is even if I’m unable to be of help physically.

    Thanks for rocking with us today.

    aloha
