Feeling Some Kinda Way

Last week I was on my way from work and had to walk through Suburban station and I saw the usual croud, yes, I've kinda made friends with some of the bumbs, but in a corner I saw a woman and a little boy who couldn't have been older than 5 or 6. She was laying out a cardboard box and some newspapers for his bed!!! I saw my godson that morning and I thought what if I ever found him sleeping in a subway on a cardboard box?!?
The next morning I was on my way to Temple and saw a man who looked just like my grandfather rumaging through the trash...now I'm from New York and I've been out here for 5 years so this was nothing new but something about it rubbed me the wrong way. He held a WaWa cup in his had that was the nastiest looking thing to me and a half eaten sandwich {i think that's what that was} and I could see him bracing himself to just take a bite no matter how discusting it looked, I just couldn't let him do it. I gave him some money and my doughnut that I hadn't eaten yet because what if one of the elders of my family were somewhere digging in trash cans and bracing themselves to eat trash!!?? I couldn't live with it, but that's all I could've done at the time.
I prayed something serious that morning and I think I know now that I really need to do something more. No sense sitting on these ideas while my godson and grandfather go hungry. It still bothers me everynight but I know the God that runs this city and His children can't beg bread for long...Changing the Sum of all Angles!!!
