You see something that rattles you a bit every day. This fellow has his spot on a particular street, and we see him when we take our mid-morning walk. The sad thing is that he isn't alone. Several people have their 'spots' on the street. We don't know where or how they live. I know that this happens in Canada as well, but there, there is help for those who want it. Here, there is nothing, not even a soup kitchen. There are so many needs here that you can't begin to meet them all. You just have to stay focused on what you are called to do and trust that God will take care of the needs that are outside of your calling.
Here is a great quote for you to ponder:

“Missions is primarily God’s work and we God’s people, in obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit, come alongside and join him where he is at work. The initiative and direction comes from God not from ourselves.”

Does anyone recognize where this quote comes from? Email us if you do. Winners will receive a free liquado when you visit Guatemala.
