Little bro was talking about guilty he has been feeling since he didn't give his left over doggy bag at the request of a homeless man when he was up in Chicago. We live in a different time. We are more protective and yet as believers we are called to give. It is a war within every time we see a 'begger'. One of the first questions that come to mind is this real and are they out to take...
So every time little bro and his wife are out and see someone asking on the street corner, they try to give. It happened again on a street corner on their way home. They felt bad that they only had $3 dollars to give and came back to give more to find her gone. He told us the story and was upset about it.
We don't live in a big city and it is a rarity to see someone with a sign on the street corner asking for money, food, or a job. Times have changed. We were at 18% job loss now 16%. More and more we are seeing a empty hand put forth asking .... I think it is time for an envelope in the bag or car with money to come to the aid... to be prepared to give to Jesus....
Anyways, it is interesting when a message comes to you with a messenger who is humbled... not from a messenger who is out for keeping glory to himself...
