Last Sunday we learned a lot about poverty. We learned God did not create poverty but humans did. We learned 20% of people in the world own 80% of the stuff in the world. We learned 3,500 children die per day from starvation. We learned that the homeless are not just drunks and drug addicts but different people facing different difficult situations. We learned that Jesus was homeless and spent much of his time with the poor. If this doesn’t seem like enough, we learned a lot more.
We know that God provides for everyone. It is our duty to share what God has provided for us. There is enough “stuff” in the world for everyone. Please don’t feel guilty. Feel inspired! Think about what you can do. Give a bit of your time. Give a bit of your money. Give a bit of your love. After all, are any of these things truly yours? I am looking forward to our study this next week so that I may feel even more inspired! See you then.
Here is a photo of Ruth, Katrina, and Angelo giving a bit of there time and love at the last Parking Lot Ministry in East Nashville.
