Beggars -

"For behold, Are we not all beggars?"

I see this time and time again working at the hospital, teaching at the university, and in my daily life.

What are you begging for? What do you want so much that you are willing to stand on the street corner, with a sign, and ask a stranger for?

"Don't we all cry out for help and hope and answers to prayers?"

And - one step further - what are you willing to give to a beggar - one who you do not know circumstances, status, need? Can you say you have done all you could?

Seldom do I post something religion specific, but in this I find a connection -
