How does one truly help the poor. You want to give financial help or physical help of some kind. In many instances though, that kind of help is no help at all. Tomorrow they are still in the same difficulties. Then there is the fact that there is limited resources that one couple can give. Who do you give it to? The ones you don't give it to are bitter and jealous, the ones you do give to are never satisfied. You know that it won't get better for them unless something changes inside them. Somehow their motivations or outlook on life needs to change . It's true that there are outside things that affect their ability to prosper, ethnicity, education, work opportunities or lack there of. Yet, that's not really the problem. It's a problem of spirit. Lack of hope and inability to love one another. Poverty of spirit is something that the rich and the poor have in common.

Oh yeah the poverty of spirit indeed is the problem and there is nothing that can be done about that only gradual build up of honesty and trust, I guess! Bit like staff morale in a company that knows its closing.
Look at me getting all involved and I only came to wish you a Happy Birthday, yeah your sis sent me. May be a bit ostentatious in your surroundings but I bought you over a cake
Have a good day.
Happy Birthday Julee...Terry has sent us over here ;o)
Ahhh, the cake looks splendid and divine (as Terry would say). What a cool idea to bring that lovely cake! Julee, you and Dave are taking the time and giving your lives to build up that trust ebezp is talking about. That's why Nene loves your visits and that's why there is now a warm light building and shining in the gypsy community. Don't lose hope.
Happy birthday!
Thank you all for your birthday wishes. The cake was very decadent and I would eat all of it if I could. :)
