Homeless...

Homeless Cuddling Dog -by Kirsten Bole 

Today a man came into our church pantry looking for help.  All he wanted was some dog food for his dog.  He was homeless, living in his van and he said he had enough food to get by but he needed food for his dog.  I can't get this out of my head.  I still see him climbing back into his beat up van.

I feel sad tonight...frustrated that I can't do more, that I have to limit how much food a person can get because we can't keep up, because the need is so great, because they are outside our struggling little church zone, because so many people think feeding the poor is a choice.
