Sure wished we knew how to solve the problem of homelessness.
Yes we can give them a sandwich, a few dollars...........
Oh they may buy alcohol? Yes they might do so
Tell me if you lived on the streets what would you do.
I might get drunk too.
The days and night much be so long and lonely, yes also so boring
Just talking to them lights up their day, someone recognizes that they are a human being.
It takes so little to do a bit of good, He/she is somebodies child

I wish all of North America would take care of them. It gets me furious how the USA is taking in 1.4 million foreigners per year (thanks Jarad Kushner... Soros puppet!) and we can't take care of our own. Women and children and veterans living on the streets. Veterans suicide rates are skyrocketing.

very mad It is a disgrace

Same is happening in Canada
Veterans not taken care of, homeless, natives living in a house without heat or electricity

I gave a talk about this recently in church.

Three "Christians" see a homeless bum on the corner.
The first "Christian" feels sorry for him and gives him a few dollars.
The 2nd Christian isn't going to give the homeless man money... He could buy alcohol or drugs! Better yet the 2nd Christian bought the man a Happy Meal.
The 3rd Christian knew you can give a man a fish and feed him for a day, or teach him to fish and feed him for a lifetime. So he hands the homeless man his business card saying "If you come and see me I will give you a well paying job".
Which of those three "Christians" showed Charity or the pure love of Christ?
The 1st? 2nd? 3rd? All three?

You see... what if the man's needs were medical? What was a few dollars going to do for him?
Maybe he just needed a bed for the night? How was a Happy Meal going to help that.
What if his needs were immediate? What would the prospect of a paycheck 2 weeks from now going to help him?

Charity or the TRUE LOVE OF CHRIST takes prayerful discernment. So that the Holy Spirit will whisper to your soul that which is needed and NOT take it upon yourselves to determine what is right.

The poor and homeless... Will ALWAYS be with us until we prayfully inquire of God how we may help, unfortunately there are many who have a poverty mentality and could not succeed with all the help in the world.

The United church used to have a Thrift store. (The best for sure)
They changed that store into 34 places for the homeless
You can go there twice a week and pick up a meal that is good for three days
