Hi Gary, Thanks for sharing the picture of the family in the Philippines that was living in such poverty. I’ve seen stuff like this in my travels across America and it’s stunning to try and get your mind around that type of poverty even here in America. To stand in the middle of such squalor, and try to carry on a conversation with the family,it’s difficult to keep your emotions in check…It’s overwhelming. I saw this kinda stuff first hand, in the ghettos of Chicogo, on the back roads of the Smokey Mountains, in different areas of South Carolina, and something close to it in a very small town in N.Dakota…the house was more intact, but one room had a dirt floor. I’m not going to mention the town cuz N.Dakotas too small, and it isn’t my intentions to embarass anyone…to get personally involved with a family,and committ to helping them, is one of the most rewarding things a person could ever get involved with…And it’s surprising that just when a person thinks they are not in any financial position to help out, but you step out on faith and do it anyway,it seems like every month that God blesses you with the money to do it anyway.A person just has to keep in mind that even though a $5 $10 or $20 can’t do much, but to someone who’s kids are hungary, it’s like giving them a $1000.00 . Thanks for sharing Gary. Aggie
