I thank God from the bottom of my heart that I have never had to suffer from pangs of hunger, for there is always something to eat. However how many of us are so lucky. I have seen little children, skin and bone, who look to us for some help. Starvation is written stark on their little bodies, and I often wonder if the parents or the beggar mafia are deliberately keeping them hungry to generate sympathy. I usually then go and bring them something to eat, and they eat it with such gusto, it breaks my heart. Such is the poverty all over the world. How often do we go out of our way to help these unfortunates. They are either acatually very hungry and poor or mafia terrified. Either way, we should feed the poor rather than throw away food which is lying in the fridge for days. How many of you mylotters are with me.

I have felt pangs of hunger before but not very often. I thank God also that he is able to allow my husband and I both to work to be able to put food on the table. We have no problem sharing. I share with my family right now.

Yes, we are the few lucky ones whom God has blessed with food on the table. We should try and feed as many poor as we can. i usually put food out on the road in a box and in a second it is gone. There are so many hungry people out in thte world. We should do what we can. Thanks.
