Today the kids and I were on errands and on the intersection leading to the interstate stood a man with a sign.I have seen several people standing in that same spot.I wonder what happened to them .. we always think that it is someone elses live not ours . I wonder how many times he thought that too.That he would never have to stand at the side of the road to be stared at by strangers.Having to deal with weather and the harsh judgements of those who have decided he just didn't try hard enough.
Where is his family - friends ? Is he really so alone he has to beg strangers to take notice?
In todays world it wouldn't take much to upset the apple cart and we could be asking for neighbors and strangers for help.
As I turned up the fan on my air conditioner and sipped my dt coke and headed home ....I said 2 prayers first for the man with the sign who is etched in my mind forever .... and for the other homeless out there... Second I also asked God to watch over my family and friends ..
I wonder if where did he go tonight - it is warm out but did he ever get any food - a warm meal...
