Why not spend the time putting together a 2ndTimothyGroup?
A 2ndTimothyGroup is a set of people who "work" for the benefit of others. We bring our collective gifts, whatever they are, and use them for the benefit of those in need. Those who have money . . . they give so that the money can be given to the poor. Those who are physically capable, they mow lawns for the families that have an injured dad who cannot perform this work (paint a house, or whatever work needed to be done). For those in legal trouble, lawyers might give free advice. But here's the other cool thing: For all of the "departments" within the 2ndTimothyGroup, give those positions of title to children so that when the apply for their first job, they can say, "I was the Accountant for the 2ndTimothyGroup, a nonprofit organization in my neighborhood." Or, another child can say, "I was the President of the 2ndTimothyGroup." Another might say, "I was the Marketing Director." Another might say that they were in charge of the Sales department.
Do something useful; something beneficial for others, and when we are doing things for others, we are really doing these things for the Lord.
.I have recently found a few willing to get out and do things. Now we just have to make plans.
