Because these issues are not easily explained or understand by little ones. The organizations that we donate to are difficult for our kids to see the connection. What they came up with the idea of "Homeless Bags". My brilliant wife along with our 5 and 6 year old filled left-over grocery bags with individual servings of food that would last and was easy to chew....and socks (yes, socks seem to be in high demand for people living on the street). We keep them in our car and offer them to the people that we see asking for help. We don't really know if they are eaten and we don't really know if they are appreciated, but it is something that our kids feel like they can do to help. And I am thankful that I can also give them out. It gives me the opportunity to look the person in the eyes and connect.surfingmonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570509856250432937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-46417741520397961892011-09-04T12:45:45.324-07:002011-09-04T12:45:45.324-07:00I saw this today and thought of your post: http://...I saw this today and thought of your post: http://blog.koldcast.tv/2010/koldcast-news/15-famous-people-who-were-once-homeless/Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088817966803643666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-61819189870319986692011-09-04T12:43:56.193-07:002011-09-04T12:43:56.193-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Miss Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08186371621934812309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-52916778492139919322011-09-04T12:38:16.573-07:002011-09-04T12:38:16.573-07:00My children asked me too.

They sent the proceeds to a homelessness charity in the same town where we saw the homeless people that began the conversation in the first place. A small amount of money, but a big feeling of taking action to make a better world. I think its so important to be honest, but give children a way to act too, so they are not overwhelmed by all the ills of the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-35733674450557657382011-09-04T06:08:05.184-07:002011-09-04T06:08:05.184-07:00Thank you for the reminder.Thank you for the reminder.CeeCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-87731521512255741382011-09-03T17:42:41.154-07:002011-09-03T17:42:41.154-07:00Whenever we travel into Vancouver, B.C. we inevita...Whenever we travel into Vancouver, B.C. we inevitably come across people with signs asking for money on the side of the street. We always bring with us a basket of fresh produce and offer each person we come across a piece of fruit.

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.<br /><br />I think I spend too much time noticing motes. I think I shall have to do betterLouAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07463092351786582767noreply@blogger.com
