Hear the Cry of the Poor

In California our state budget is not good. They are looking at cutting many services to people who are homeless. I listened on t.v. last night when they showed a Board of Supervisors meeting. Many people that are homeless were there and told compelling and sad stories. I think of them as I write this.

A woman who is homeless

advocates to Government

not to take away the shelters

A woman tells of her son

who wanted to kill himself

but because of the staff

he was helped so he could

live another day

Crys of the poor

They can teach us much

They can help us look

at our culture and ask

Where is our heart?

Where is our care for others?

As one woman said

"We are not numbers. We

are living people with real lives."

I pray Jesus that we do listen. That

we do hear the cry of the poor.

Jesus sure does

As one who is a poor person, I felt this deeply in my soul; but I know Jesus will take care of us. He always does! :) (Me and my twin living on LESS than $250.00 a MONTH, for TWO people!!) Good write, and sad that so many important programs to help the poor are being needlessly cut! Where are those who care?? One can only wonder....Thank GOD our God cares; it's in Him we who don't have much need to put our trust, fully and completely!! Great message here!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

How sad to see the poor being further deprived. We can each do something, find some way to help. If we pray, God wil lead us to ways we can help.
You're right--Jesus cares. Well done, Cindy.
Love, Connie

Thank you for sharing Cindy! No matter what we have there is always something we can share, for God gave us all himself and we are never without Him to comfort and guide us. Bless you and keep sharing and caring!...Eileen
