We want to share some excerpts I just read the other day from Kevin's blog, http://thehomelessguy.blogspot.com/ . . . We know God hears what the poor have to say. If we listen, too, it might help us be of Christian help . . .
"There is indeed more to homeless people than being homeless.
Don't give money to panhandlers. More than likely they will use it for drugs or alcohol. If you want to help a homeless person, panhandler or otherwise, take the time to get [to] know the person and what they really need - and what will really be beneficial for them, and provide that instead.
Not all panhandlers are homeless, most homeless people do not panhandle."
In another place, Kevin says, "What can you do, fairly quickly, and cheaply, without much commitment to help the homeless? Read this post: Gift Bags for the Homeless," http://thehomelessguy.blogspot.com/2005/12/gift-bags.html
One day, we're going to really start putting God's Word into practice, serving others face to face rather than our mirror selves. " . . . doers who act--they will be blessed in their doing." James 1:25
