Homeless

"There is a beggar--I guess the politically correct term is "homeless person"--who I regularly hand a dollar to. I have taken the unusual step of asking his name and using it. Not that this makes me wonderful, but it does make him a little more real."

Julie Cameron
Prayers From A Nonbeliever: A Story of Faith

How do you respond to the homeless? Ones playing music in the streets? Ones holding signs at the exit ramps? Ones hanging out at the malls or at McDonalds?

In our current subzero temps plus windchills, I can't climb into my warm bed without praying for them.

EverGrowing,
