Feed My People

Something that keeps coming up in my life. The homeless and the hungry. I recently did a 28 day fast and detox and one week of it consisted of juicing. It was the hardest week of my life.. my stomach hurt so much (in a way I can’t describe to you) that toward the end of the seven days I had to break my fast a day early.
I guess it gave me a better understanding of what hunger looks and feels like. I could have fixed that problem at any point and just started eating. Some people don’t have that choice. They have to rely on the mercy of others. It doesn’t matter how they got there. Going hungry shouldn’t happen anywhere.
I went on this trip and met Chris Gardner (The Pursuit of Happyness.) His story confirmed that even the smartest, most ambitious people can wind up (through circumstances beyond their control) to be homeless and hungry. One can of food can make the difference in a person’s life. Give freely from your poverty as the widow did and He will give you beauty for your ashes.
How sad, but it is so true. An illness can make an independent person lose almost everything. This is a very touching image, Kimothy.
