Walking the Talk? Have you hugged a hobo today? Have you spoke to a scooter tramp? Have you kissed with holy kiss the whore at the corner? Have you fed someone hungry? Have you blessed one unfortunate? Have you spoke the Gospel to the “least” today? Have you used the light gifted? Have you shown the fruit of deeds? Did others see Jesus in your life today? Have you prayed for the poor? Have you blessed the sick and hurt? Have you taken the time as Jesus showed us to do? bleeding... "Tis ink coming from his arm, Captain!" |

Dan, This poem moved me to tears. Thank you dear friend. This very prayer I read from you in testifying to our group last night stirred my heart and I said forgive me Lord. Thank you for this one and what a beautiful way to remind us, to stay in His will, His humble perfect will. I love you my dear Brother in Christ Jesus. This is my favorite poem from you! marcy |

Thank you each for the replies. It is questions that carry with me while out there. Just yesterday I was waiting out side our maildrop and a guy went by to the booze store next door singing his head off on his bicycle. Scruffy looking guy, tatoos, obviously not bathed for awhile... I found my eyes slidding off him as though if i didn't look i wouldn't have to recognize him as human.... Dad had other ideas...the dude came out of the booze store with what was not his first of the day and i saw that he had bought a couple of individual cigerretts. I was thinking that this dude had enough cash for his bottle of port...then he had enough for a pack of smokes instead of just a couple at a dime apiece... the dude struggled back onto his bike and spent a good four minutes search for his matches. This was right in front of our van and i was still uncomfortably trying to ignore this obviously deranged individual. lol then the untinkable...because i didn't respond and speak to this man...Dad had him approach me and ask for a light. My heart melted and i repented of my stupidity and struck up a conversation with the gentleman. Oh how we tend to live in our safety zones! God is telling us all it is time for break-out!...have you hugged your hobo today? bleeding... "Tis ink coming from his arm, Captain!" |

Amen Dan, Your follow up was almost as heartwarming as your poem. I appreciate you and your concern for the other person. Thank you for sharing that message. marcy |
