Homeless

A few days ago while driving to work on my usual route I had a God moment that has stayed with me for longer then usual.   I was crossing the bridge over the Lehigh River when I noticed two men, each pulling a suitcase , carrying a large trash bag over their shoulder, and if that wasn't enough they were walking into the traffic due to the fact that the side walk was snow covered.  There was a chill in the air, the temperature was well below freezing, and the walk was treacherous to say the least.  Traffic was moving at a fast pace and they were a "inconvenience " to many as they rushed to get to work.
My eyes immediately filled with tears as I thought back to other Christmas seasons when my eldest was out in the cold, alone and living from place to place.   I cried to my Father in heaven for these men, obviously homeless and ask for protection and care through some divine intervention.
My heart has a special place for the lonely, hurt and unloved and I know that my God is watching over all His children even when they don't know.
So to these and many more who are out in the cold and looking for a better way I say .... You are not alone....
