who’s really poor?

Posted by dturn on October 15, 2008

My man Chilly let me know that today is Blog Action Day, where people are posting about poverty.

This is what I think:

A lot of spend time wanting to get blessed. For what?
Are we willing to invest in our retirement, so we can sit around on our butts and do nothing.
Or, will we give more to change someone’s life forever?

Are we so consumed with ourselves that we can’t see our “brothers/sisters” ?
Do we buy the latest and greatest to numb ourselves from the reality of poverty around us?

We mis-manage what God has given us and then cry poor when He looks to us to bless someone else.

Instead of raining down bread from heaven, God has given us seed to plant in hopes of a harvest.

Most people don’t give because they don’t have it.
They don’t have it because they spend it on themselves.

Look at where your money goes.
It goes somewhere.

If you have a heart for helping those with less than…….

Your treasure will go there also
