Hard to keep your heart right after that...try to stay thankful and serve...because you are not serving them...gotta do it for the one who gave it all for me...
We have some screwed up thinking regarding how to help someone. Some things for all of us to think about:
1) The Bible refers to widows and orphans, ones who truly need help. Now to find those people will take some extra work, The problem is it is EASIER to treat them all the same.
2) Helping people is suppose to be personal and discerning. I stopped giving to institutions.
3) I am sorry to say we have a lot of WORLDY THINKING in our service to others.
4) A lot of the helping in the new testament was to FELLOW CHRISTIANS, not the general public.

Hard to keep your heart right
And I will add this thought. Many times I think we get in the way of God’s plan by helping people. We help them, get a little glory for ourselves and they never get to the point where they have to turn to God.
Not saying don’t help people but check our hearts a little more. A little more discerning.
Sometimes you help people by being tough on them and telling them the truth.

Grandiloquence can be interpreted in many ways, based on context. It would behoove you all to take caution when pontificating, lest arrogance rear its ugly countenance...

THank you --- I am delighted to know this. I knew a gifted British-accented black Bahamian girl when I lived in DC. She was so pleasingly unlike so many Georgia Avenue "African-Americans."
Culture, culture, culture.

I had a slinky. Well - it was my older brother’s. And a big kink in it - but it still worked okay. The one thing I recall is we never had store-bought cookies or anything other than frozen orange juice for juice. Always had home-made cookies though!
I loved going over to my buddy’s house after school. A cold glass of Hi-C and two Oreo cookies! They were rich!

I was in Kenya a couple of years ago and the same description applied to that population. In my opinion, “African-Americans” (i.e. American blacks) have no idea how true Africans behave. They are serious, but hard working and friendly people. I cannot and will not paint all American blacks with that broad brush, but it is compellingly obvious that we have a HUGE problem in this nation with “black culture” that practices serial illegitimacy, ingratitude, antisocial behavior, and commits over 50% of all crime despite being 13% of the general population.

Lucky you.
My mother worked at Nestles and we rarely had chocolate except on Halloween. M and M's were my friend's father's favorite. I'd go to their house for my chocolate. Ha!
