Something I love about my husband is he literally gets mad and disappointed in himself when he doesnt have cash or didnt manage to give his change to the guy at the intersection before the lights changed. It is one of the things that made me fall in love with him. <br /><br />And it is not our job to decide how our charity is used. What matters is that we genuinely want to help someone and give something, and hopefully it made a difference. And why should a couple of girls possibly not receive kindness because there is a possibility that this man isnt poor?<br /><br />There are a lot of people on the streets of Portland who live that way by choice. Even then, I do not know what lead them to that decision, nor do I think that me thinking its their fault or them being irresponsible should mean that they shouldnt get to eat. Because choice or not, I have a warm place to sleep and a husband who loves me and know, with all my complaints, that my life has got to be easier. Happier. <br /><br />It makes me sad that people are so skeptical.Saritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10094278384918808776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373039528924145838.post-35434367212739780012011-04-22T16:45:54.875-07:002011-04-22T16:45:54.875-07:00I love you and your generous tender heart.

I've got my own Colorado mission story about a couple with walkers and oxygen that seemed remarkably spry when it was time to pack everything into their car and head home at the end of their begging day. <br /><br />However, when I get to cynical I think of King Benjamin's counsel to give generously and let the Lord work it out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373039528924145838.post-68614332852727436172011-04-22T13:54:15.185-07:002011-04-22T13:54:15.185-07:00Ha ha - I like the post about Ron.

Love your perspective on it. <br /><br />PS: If I would have been at the pool I probably would have told you some sort of story about how he's able to pay the $300 tickets he gets several times a week, and its still worth it for him :)<br />So, I again, I like your thoughts on it... they changed my perspective. And, who doesn't like a guy to press the cross walk for them!K.A.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01290094248138192104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373039528924145838.post-76373881994323849922011-04-22T13:38:43.319-07:002011-04-22T13:38:43.319-07:00Sallee-you are amazing.
