Forgotten or Ignored?

Being back on my blog makes me so happy.  It shows you the power of a little thing.  I skipped one night of blogging and look how long it took me to get back on!  26 days! The Lord has been so great to me.  He has been working so hard in my heart lately, and showing me so many things.  Specifically today, God has been having me look into homelessness.  A couple of weeks ago a young man close to my age, he looks, starting standing at the corner of our busy intersection close to our house.  His sign that he holds reads "HOMELESS ANYTHING HELPS."  The Lord has had homelessness on my heart for a while now, but this young man specifically now.  God gave me the opportunity to buy him some food and water for the day today and just after I gave it to him, a police came down the street, so I saw him start to walk off.  (On a different subject.. what a shame that is, that the homeless have to run from the people who have "To Protect and To Serve" written on their cars.  My mom pointed that out after I told her my story. )  What amazing timing God has and how he places us ever so perfectly in situations blows my mind though.  On my way to Starbucks a little while ago, I saw him again at the corner, he must have come back to try again.  And as I'm sitting in Starbucks
now, it was raining a couple of minutes ago.. I stopped and thought.. every homeless person is out there right now standing out in this.  Meanwhile their valuables they have on them are getting wet, and the clothes they have are getting wet.  I just sat here and thought and thought and thought.  Then, I pulled out my journal, and wrote down every possible way I could help him, and others.  Please pray for what the Lord is putting on my heart, and that I may be able to be guided by him to help this forgotten community that everyone around the world knows about but "forgets."  SO glad to be sharing what the Lord is doing in my life again. 
God,
Thanks so much for your perfectness.  You're so awesome, and have incredible plans for us.  Lord, guide us, and make us servants of You.  Bless us this week, and steer our decisions so that they may be Your will, and pleasing to You.
In Your Son's Name,
Amen!
