The world is so full of phonies, especially those posing as Christians, who go around proclaiming their good deeds and try to raise money from them, and espouse ego-driven, self-righteousness, to attack any who differ from their conception of what God desires from people.
According to these idiots, only white Republicans are righteous and pure, and all the rest are bent for hell. (Of course they never remember that Christ was Middle Eastern, with accompanying features).
But the world is also full of saints - just like Saint Jeann of Mission Viejo, pictured here at her grandaughter's high school graduation.
Jeann is person who cares for the least, the lost and the lonely, but doesn't trumpet her works to the community. Instead, they are like sweet offerings to the Lord, done from her heart, because the Lord dwells there.
In any spare time Jeann has, she has been crocheting blankets for more than thirty years, and given them to churches, hospitals, homes for mothers-to-be, and those in need.
Additionally, Jeann has offered so many designer clothes and shoes to those who are without, and there is no fuss, just a plain old helping of those less fortunate. And food. And so much more.
I have never sheard Jeann ask for thanks, or mention her loving gifts to anyone, whereas so many who give a dime must trumpet their gifts.
The Lord said in the good book, that if you proclaim your good works, you have had your blessing here on earth, but Jeann has never done that, and instead, there is an eternity of rewards and blessings awaiting her.
So many evangelists and proclaimed Christians spend their time looking for splinters in other's eyes, instead of dealing with the logs in their own eyes. And when they get the logs removed, they will see, that it is not they who are favored by the Lord, but those like Jeann, who give and give, without reward or fame or thanks.
From my heart I say thanks for the blessings I have received from Jeann's work, because I have been fortunate to have helped with distribution.
I have worked in the Christian community throughout the world, and have met the bigshots with tv shows, but none have I met with a bigger heart, who live as God intended, who give as God intended.
With joy in their hearts.
This day I thank the Lord for Jeann, my wonderful Mama Jeann.
I have traveled far and searched wide, only to find the Lord right here in Jeann's heart, visible for any who have eyes to see.
PS - Jeann has also been blessed with a GREAT talent for cooking, and those of us so fortunate, have eaten at her table, where every dish is special and spectacular! Jeann can make an ear of corn jump off the plate! And to that I say "Thank you Lord!"
