The Bible tells us that, “There will always be poor in the land.”

Many who are now poor were once wealthy and grand.

Do we look the other way? No, we must help one another!

Do we help a friend in need? Yes, you should help your needy brother.

How much help is enough? You will know in due time.

We don’t want friend to be a dependent No, but giving is not a crime.

Dear Lord what shall I do?  Listen and learn so you won’t take that road.

When is giving too much? It’s never too much to take off a load.

I just want to preach and plant a seed. Your attitude plants a seed.

I don’t want to grow dependent weeds. Be glad you are not the one in need.

So rejoice and Praise the Lord, for He has provided for this very day.

Lift up each other with hope, love, and kindness and don’t forget to pray!

Amen! Amen!
