It's always so awkward when you're in your nice car at an intersection of a busy street and a homeless person is staring right at you with his sign proclaiming his poverty. i never know what to do!! what runs through my head is this: is he really homeless? does he have a family? did he lose his job b/c of the economy? is he hungry? is he lying to everyone? is that a cell phone he's pulling out of his pocket? will he use the money i give him for drugs? or food? should i even make eye contact with him? is it rude to ignore him? i mean he's a person too, even though he is poor and awkward...im sure he wouldn't like to be ignored...
things i would like to include in homeless person packages: a small piece of paper with a bible verse on it to encourage them, gum that is good for your teeth, a protein bar (low calorie but high in vitamins ect), V8, sanitizing wipes, deodorant to go, "wisps" which are like to-go tooth brushes, and some sort of cleansing face wipes.
