Hello Everyone...
I am sorry I haven't wrote anything for awhile, I wait for inspiration n if I don't have inspiration I can't write anything n if I try to force myself to try to write it doesn't sound/read right or I am just blocked from doing any writing...
Oh so, yes had some inspiration today, YAY...
I guess it started yesterday when I went out n felt the motivation to give to a few people n then even moved to purchase some refreshments n snacks n gave to 2 young women that are down n out n I remember how close I was to being that way just before my stroke... Some times I know we are wary about giving to street homeless because many try to get money for booze/drugs n you see they really need some food n not a candy bar so you want to help but don't want to aid them in their destruction so it is hard choice to give or ignore them... Yesterday I gave a few dollars here n there to a few people but decided to give a couple boxes of healthy snack bars (think 6 bars per box) n the drinks to the women because I figured the snack bars would give them something good to snack on n would be ease to carry in their back packs... The thing about the 2 women/girls unsure of their age could be between late teens to their 30s hard to tell because they are having a HARD life n their bodies are showing that... 1 of the girls had a look as if Life Sux n she was mad at it all n the other girl think the younger of the two has a look like she was super sad n depressed n maybe losing hope with life n I saw a small smile from her when I gave the drinks n snacks... I would love to get them both off the street but you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink n with drunks/addicts you can bring them help but can't making them get well... I know from my own live no one(on Earth) can force a person to straighten out n want to get better some never do but many have to hit bottom n usually super hard before changing their ways...
I guess the only thing I can say is to not condemn/judge them we don't know what drove them to their condition; yes helping them with money is tricky will they use it for good or bad so give or not trust your feelings about should you give or not but at the least pray for them or if you are close enough to talk to them maybe talk with them(but beware of your surroundings not everyone it trust worthy so be careful) trust your feeling/gut/heart/soul... Showing someone kindness/respect can mean a lot to those that are down n out...
Oh if the person is open to it ask if they would let you pray for them right there or ask them to pray with you, prayer can do amazing things when the faithful pray!!!
HUGs!!!
