Mirror Of A Homeless Person

Ever since I have common sense, homelessness (those without any place for inhabitation) has attracted my attention for many reasons. Seeing these people fill my mind with certain questions which could be answered in many ways. I bet others have the same issues in this matter.

Who are these people, where do they come from and why are they living in those conditions? Are they willing to change?

Homelessness is not identified with:

• age
• culture
• territory
• physical aspect
• moral values.

Each one of these people have their own reason...their own conviction of living outside. They wake up many times in different places and go to sleep after rain, snow or sun has touched their skin.

Emotions go back and forth when homelessness approaches us or we just see them in our path. When they beg for money, food or something...an internal war begins in between "should or shouldn't"...like peeling a flower with "loves me, loves me not".

We need to have self control and be willing to stay strong spiritually to prevent falling into a life like this. I made a research in 2007 and I was astonished at the help there are for homelessness; by christians, good people and altruists that are moved to help and be solidarity (I love this concept). Even political funds are waiting to be used in benefit of homelessness. Something is happening that they don't work properly. The money is going into somebodies pocket or the homeless just like the style. I will not label the reasons...I just say this as a fact that help does exist.

God is needed in everything, I ask your prayers for the homeless and for us to help them and be solidarity with them. We need to be part of the solution to see changes. Memorize and make it real Chapter 25 verse 35 of Matthew, says: "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in...

Hope for the homeless! When we start seeing them as humans with necessities and make this into an action. You could find help by searching "Help for the homelessness" by area. Take a look at these I have linked...there is help out there and everywhere, for the homelessness. Become a volunteer in many ways to reach them and let them have at least the warm of love and respect as humans.

Help, I am homeless!

You will probably get into some difficulties as in many aspects of life...but I assure that it is worthily. Do you remember feed the hungry problems mainly in Florida? Actually my dear Froggy213 made a Hub; I encourage to read it: Feed The Hungry - Break The Law.

Blessings to all!
