A priest from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Jhansi in India visited our church recently. He spoke of the poverty in their area and showed a video of the people they help, the poor, the disabled, the diseased. It was heartbreaking, many people donated to this special collection after being made aware of the work of this Diocese. When you compare this to your own problems in life, they become miniscule, as the priest truly said.

when the head of the families (politicians) are corrupt and unfaithful to their people ,treasure of country gather in swiss accounts and people of country starve for basic necessities
Hi Christine yes it makes you appreciate what we have xx
My thoughts exactly, Baili.
Awful Baili
Isn't that the truth? It's so easy to forget how truly fortunate we are.
Most of my issues are truly "First World" problems.
It doesn't matter where poverty happens..it takes a tole on everyone.
Coffee is on
We might also remember Mother Teresa, who helped the poorest of the poor in Calcutta, India.
really, really true sometime I think in that, when you can go to a doctor or you have food all daysd and sleep warm yes heatbreaking :(
Yes, it it true. Both here and abroad. I donate monthly to our local shelter for women, another for wildlife, our food bank, and for Stephen Lewis' foundation.
I agree with you.
God bless you
So many people both in our own countries and around the world need help. In many of our larger stores there are collection areas for donations to food banks, many city churches often do soup runs. I think we all help out as best we can …
All the best Jan
