Today after our prayer time, my friend Tom and I headed over to a local St.Ourbucks to discuss church, life, you know... et al. While we were chatting away I noticed something that made me smile. A older man who appeared to have what the world would consider success and security by wearing a nice suit and tie, his shoes were new and shiny. He stooped down and picked up a penny and placed it in his pocket and then walked on. I thought, "Was this a 'penny saved a penny earned' thing or is the economy really that bad and a penny saved is one for a rainy day?"
My thoughts moved to the poor of this world where a penny could make a difference and remembered the words of Jesus, "You will always have the poor among you." We see them... but do we know them? So I have two questions, little comment from myself and would love to have as many answer as possible below in the comment section (please let us know your thoughts... it only takes a moment).
1. Who are the poor?
2. What did he mean by among?
Go ahead... talk amongst yourselves!
