This priest was going to church when he

This priest was going to church when he saw a woman and her dog sitting in the grass.

He decided to see why. He walked over to them and asked what they were doing.

The woman said they were homeless and grass was the only thing they had to eat.

The priest said, ''You can eat over at the church. ''

The woman said, ’’I have a dog and nine children -- will there be enough? ''

''Oh yes, '' the priest replied, ''the grass is 3 inches taller over there. ''

A hobo comes up to the front door of a neat looking farmhouse and raps gently on the door. 



When the farm owner answers, the hobo asks him,

"Please, sir, could you give me something to eat? I haven't had a good meal in several days. " 



The owner says, "I have made a fortune in my lifetime by supplying goods for people. I've never given anything away for nothing.

However, if you go around the back, you will see a gallon of paint and a clean paint brush. If you will paint my porch, I will give you a good meal. "

So the hobo goes around back and a while later he again knocks on the door. 



The owner says, "Finished already? Good. Come on in. Sit down. The cook will bring your meal right in. "

The hobo says, "Thank you very much, sir. But there's something that I think you should know. It's not a Porsche you got there. It's a BMW. "

Pearl of Wisdom

“What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like. ” ~Saint Augustine

“I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion about the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. ” ~Benjamin Franklin

“No one has ever become poor by giving. ” ~Anne Frank

“Suppose there are brothers or sisters who need clothes and don’t have enough to eat. 16 What good is there in your saying to them, “God bless you! Keep warm and eat well!” — if you don’t give them the necessities of life? ” James 2: 15 -16

“If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORD --and he will repay you!” Proverbs 19: 17
