I know this is "chat", but damn it really tears at my heart.....
I've recently been spending Sunday afternoons in downtown Wichita with a couple groups of people that do a church service and lunch for area homeless and near homeless people. What a great blessing this has been to me the past couple of months!!!
Without turning this into a "religion" thread, I would like to everyone in the TAC to take a moment and ponder all the "things" we have. I know for Debi & I we hae WAY more then we need and in some cases want. Somewhere in your town or near where you live is a similar group providing food, clothing and shelter for the homeless and near homeless in your area. Little things like clean used socks, underwear & clothing that you've either outgrown (at least in my case) and shoes/boots can be such a blessing to others who have literally nothing.
The government provides some of these people with money in one form or another. Many more of these people have no address to mail an assistance check to as they are living on the street or in shelters and their only support comes from local churches who reach out to try and help make a difference in the lives of others.
I know some of you don't attend church and others don't believe in God at all..... That is not the point of this thread. It's doing what you can to help others who really need it.
I ask you all to please take a moment and clean out your over-full sock drawer, drag those clothes out of the closet that you haven't worn in a couple years, jeans that you would like to someday get back in to etc, ad find a church that can get these items, or take them yourself to a shelter etc. that can distribute them to those that can use them to stay warm this winter.
Thanks for your time,
Mike
