Poverty….
Would you survive on less than a dollar a day?
Could you feed an entire family (plus the kids next door who have nothing to eat, or feed that extra child who’s has no family because they have died of a disease) on less than a dollar a day?
get your basic needs on less than a dollar a day?
Why is that we are people of labels, certain things make us who we are…
One logo on a brand name shirt cost hundreds of dollars, just because a logo that is probably glued to a t-shirt.
Where we hang out puts us into a people group.
This may have changed that day when I stood in a village where people had no clean water, haven’t seen rain in months or maybe that time when I walked through one of the largest slums and saw sewage running through homes, or when kids 6 and under playing in a huge trash pile… Not too sure…
Im torn between reality and reality, the reality that I used to know and the reality that I’ve seen… but then again what is reality…
It can never leave that back of my mind that the places we go the people we meet, the villages that we go to… see the people who live in mud huts to go and encourage them, praying for them in any way possible then we leave and go on with what we call life… when I leave they are still there, things change in my life but there still striving to survive on the little money they have…
It’s not just a way of living, something you can just climb out of, something you can’t change in a day
