Homeless

We heard a speaker today who taught school at a homeless shelter for years. The school was in downtown Salt Lake City and it was called "The School With No Name". So many life lessons learned from these homeless children. My children have always had a roof over their heads and food on the table. I oftentimes think, what makes us so special? Why are my kids not hungry and others are? Are homeless people just lazy or are they all drug addicts? Have they all made their own circumstances? I have always felt this pull and this compassion for people. My grandfather was like this. He taught me that we are all human beings and worthwhile in God's eyes. I hope I can remember that every single day. It gets difficult to remember as we live in our very comfortable home and eat our food. But I am going to make a renewed committment to try and help someone every single day, even if it's just to smile and say hi.
