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

Life Spirituality

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!

How Do You Lift Up Her Lonely Heart?

No Comments on How Do You Lift Up Her Lonely Heart?

You hear her cries, you see her tears, and you wonder how on earth you’re going to wipe them all away. You try to wipe them with your handkerchief, but then she cries again, and tears continue falling.

Your heart breaks, and deep in your soul you don’t want to see her that way. You get furious at those people who’ve hurt her like this, surely they have no right to do this to her. But what could you do?

You can’t turn back time, you can’t pull it back to that moment when she’s happy and her eyes filled with laughter. No matter how much you wish, you can’t undo the evil that has been done.

But you can stay beside her, and you can hold her hand. And if you can’t pull her out of the darkness she’s in, you can join her where she is and let her know she is never alone.

You can wait with her until the storm passes. You can remind her how beautiful she is and how you believe deep down in your heart she’s going to rise above it all a stronger and more beautiful person.

You can be a shoulder to lean on to, a reminder of the strength she already has. Yes, you can wait with her for the morning, when the sun shall reveal once more a glitter of hope upon her teary eyes.

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.
