Page 2 of 3 Many people are content to sit in their car, listening to music or talk radio, and as they come to that corner, look down on that person begging for money for food, because they assume to think they are buying drugs. Yes, that is always a possibility. But just tossing some spare change or your garbage out the window is degrading. How would you feel if the tables were turned, and you were that person sitting there begging for food? You may be sitting here reading this, smugly perhaps, saying this would never happen to me. I am too good, and I have a great job, and a home and a family, and I go to church every weekend. How dare one be so smug, and sit in judgment of others? I will, and I hardly ever quote the bible, “Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.” I would never assume that I am better then that man or woman that is homeless, for one day in my judgment, I could be that person. The tables of life could turn, in just and righteous judgment of my life, and turn the tables. Those that fall down should be helped back up. I have been there, I have fallen down, and when I realized that I did not want to fall any farther, I asked for help, and I got it. You see, sometimes you have to ask for help as well; otherwise it will not be appreciated later. There are those that feel that no one will help them and give up. There are those that ask, and no one listens. There are those that are homeless and hungry, in our country, whichever country you are in, there are homeless. And everyday, there are more of them for one reason or another, and many of them will go to sleep tonight because they can not afford to get food, or there is not enough of it available. So if you are reading this and are in a position where you help feed the homeless, start asking around at the local restaurants that do buffets, and ask what happens with the food at the end of that buffet. What I have outlined above is what you will find, that the food is summarily tossed into the garbage at the end of that buffet. Many times over you will find the same thing, food which could go to feeding the homeless people in this country. Everyone wonders why the landfills are getting bigger, here is just one reason. Change in this world starts with you and me. I give the message of hope, and my hope is that people that are reading this will act. A true humanitarian will act on what I am saying here, and look into this information, and find that I reveal the truth. Choice to act starts with you.
