COLD HEART

WOW it is so COLD out today. I wish I could have stayed in my bed under my warm covers. How many of us wished that? So many other people aren't so lucky to be granted that wish. Have you ever seen a homeless woman out in the cold with her children? That is one of the most heartbreaking feelings ever. To watch the expressions on the faces of those children. They are COLD and hungry. We look to our parents as children to fix any and every problem. Imagine that mother's heart because she know that is a problem that she cannot fix. She has to depend on the scraps of food that people threw in the garbage to feed her children. She relies on the change that she gets from begging people for help. She has to find the warmest place in the Cold to try and keep her kids alive. How do you explain that to your kids? How do you look them in their eyes and tell them it's going to be ok? I stand outside for five minutes and I'm begging to get out of it. Imagine those kids. They don't have no inside to run to. My heart aches for all the homeless during this time of the year, but my soul cries for those children. They say that most of us are only a paycheck or two away from being homeless, so why not take heed and do what you need to do to make sure you and your kids have a back up plan? How did it ever get this way? Who dropped the ball in helping our country? How do we fix it? Can we fix it? I don't know the answer but I do know how much my heart hurts every time I see a child on those cold streets.
