Driving down the road
It’s not uncommon to see homeless people asking for money or keeping to themselves
Today, I saw something heartbreaking, especially on Easter Sunday
I looked over by the creek and saw a shopping cart, a bag and blankets
Didn’t think anything of it until I was driving back the same way
Upon driving closer, I realized there was a person sleeping within the blankets

For a moment, I stopped to think of everyone around the world getting candy, goodies, and having a great meal with family
Yet this person has no one, has nothing...
It puts into perspective on how everyone deals with life differently and how many of us take for granted on the life they have
But this person didn’t care to sleep out in the open without a care in the world
Sad to think of those less fortunate and I pray for them tonight
