Homeless people break my heart, even though I’m guilty of shying away from them sometimes.

But yes, they do remember you. Some of them do, at least.

You did well, and it will take immense investment in other people just to see a tiny spark sometimes. That’s what God does for us each and every day.

Every day I pass these people, not sure what to say or do. What if I ran into these same people during a charity run, how would they react? It would seem so... fake.

I feel it, I read it and though I don't know much about it, it's a part of my future. And seems like yours too. Eyes on the prize, fellow pioneer!<br /><br />Alan Dude, there’s going to be a reconciliation between the rich and the poor in God’s Kingdom.
