“He who gives to the poor will never want,
But he who shuts his eyes will have many curses.”

Proverbs 28:27

It’s a game we have all played with our children when they were little; a game of “Hide and Seek”. We pretend that they are invisible when they cover their own eyes. We exclaim “Where did Jimmy go?” as the little one sits with his eyes covered, giggling, thinking that no one can see them. Child psychologists will tell you that a small child sees things from their own point of view and have difficulty thinking about other people’s experiences.

It’s been said more than once “I don’t want to know”. Knowledge would require me to do something rather than just sit in my own ignorance. Sometimes I have not matured any farther than my own childhood when I choose to sit with my eyes shut and ignore the problem.

God calls us to maturity, and maturity is defined as thinking beyond ourselves. So with poverty we are asked to act and there is a reward for those who do. We think that it would be a physical reward, but actually it is maturity that we will discover and having maturity we will lack for nothing.

Thanksgiving Day Event:
The Thanksgiving event was a big hit. Thanks to everyone who dedicated time during your holiday to make it happen. We had teamed with Mark Chow from “A Foundation for Kids” to put together a great day for those less fortunate, to give them something to be joyous about on Thanksgiving Day. You made an impact, you thought beyond yourself to bring a gift of celebration to others. We were overwhelmed with the response of volunteers … Thanks
