go I.
When I see homeless people I pray for them and I pray for me.
I have five children. Two of them are addicts. I pray for them and I pray for me because the line between addiction and self control is so fine.
I have been very poor. For many years we lived on a budget that had pennies left on the day before pay day.
We had our share of catastrophes and setbacks. And always when all was bleak a helping hand would appear. Sometimes the help came from within, a much needed attitude adjustment changed the whole scene! Sometimes the help came unexpectedly and from totally unexpected persons.
I believe in paying it forward and second chances.
I'm not sure I can continue with "Truth Smacking". I do not like to hurt people. There is also a fine line between enabling and requiring people to stand on their own two feet. I'm still working on knowing where it is.
My Dad had been homeless as a youth. He became quite successful but never forgot being hungry and being homeless. He always gave money to panhandlers. He said "There by the grace of God and my own grit I no longer am!"
And I always give money to panhandlers. It won't make them and it won 't break me. It might ease their burden for the moment.
I forgive almost everything except deliberate cruelty.
