If you live in a big city you no doubt see panhandlers begging for money on street corners, freeway entries, and in front of grocery stores. My personal policy is to only give food or clothing, I never give money because many of them are on drugs and I dont want to support that habit.
I came across this video on Youtube yesterday and it really touched me. This man wants a job yet who is going to give a job to someone that has no phone, bad clothes and probably smells. He begs in order to collect money so he can sleep in a room for the night, or to buy food to eat for the day. Ronald and others like him that are homeless, is not how God intended us to live! Under Gods Kingdom rule, the desire of every resident to have his own home will be fulfilled, this is prophesied through Isaiah: "They will certainly build houses and have occupancy, and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat thier fruitage." - Isaiah 65:21
Please watch this video with a compassionate heart.

Acknowledge of the Divine Name
The National Monument to the Forefathers, formerly known as the Pilgrim Monument commemorates the Mayflower Pilgrims. Dedicated on August 1, 1889, it honors their ideals as later generally embraced by the United States. It is thought to be the world's largest solid granite monument and is the third-tallest statue in the United States.
The Pilgrim Monument of the present day is in Provincetown, Massachusetts and was built between 1907 and 1910.
The rear panel, which was not engraved until recently, contains a quote from Governor William Bradford's famous history, Of Plymouth Plantation:
- "Thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by His hand that made all things of nothing and gives being to all things that are; and as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many, yea in some sort to our whole nation; let the glorious name of Jehovah have all praise."
