A beggar’s plea

 

I saw that boy yet again

sitting by the stairs near the street

his little hand raised infront of me

his clothes tattered

his feet with no slippers

his future bleak and beyond my reach

 

What can I do for you dear boy?

I cannot give you work with which to eat

Neither can I send you to school

for my pay is just enough to meet my needs

 

What can I do for you dear boy?

Can I give you a kiss and a hug

Can I make you feel someone noticed you

and that someone prays you find your way?

 

What would you rather that I do?

What would I prefer I do for you?

 

No, today I have no bread

No, today I care for you more to give you a few coins of mine

I am so sorry little boy

for today I plan to give you dignity

and things like that can’t even buy you

a single piece of bread

Unique!


We learn to love each other when we begin to realize how truly unique and wonderful each one of us is. Like seashells along the shore, no one is entirely alike, each is crafted with an imprint of God’s hand, each has something to share, and each has something to admire and long for in another.

People often see me as I quiet person, one who rarely cracks a joke, one that can comfortably sit in a corner and have a good time reading a book or listening to good music. But that doesnt mean I couldn’t engage in good conversation. That doesn’t mean I couldn’t comfort a grieving soul. That doesn’t mean I couldn’t share the kind of happiness that comes from things the world hardly notices in its race towards unreachable dreams. I am the kind of person God has masterfully and lovingly made me to be. I am happy. I am beautiful. I am unique!

At the End of Ourselves…


Most people do not accomplish everything they are capable of doing because they have not come to the end of themselves and the beginning of their God-ordained destiny.
