Process

I saw someone yesterday that filled my mind with sadness. But with the image of a homeless person in my mind, I started to think about him and what I should be thinking about. Why is it that whenever we see someone "below us" we think he or she is below us and automatically should recieve our pity. Do they really need our pity? What happened to love? I realize that some people may give their love to that person, but our first instinct is pity. And we walk or drive by. Do we invite them to lunch so they can eat? Do we remember where we saw them and then drive to teh local burger king and get them something healthy and then drive back to them? No...we say to ourselves, "That's sad." and don't do one thing. Even remember to pray for them that night.

I'm guilty of doing this same thing. And it really got me thinking.
