A young boy sat with his parents in church one Sunday morning. He heard the minister speaking about visiting a poor family in the community. He described the small rooms, the empty dishes on the table, and the children who had gone to bed hungry. The congregation listened quietly. Some were moved, some were uncomfortable, and some simply waited for the service to finish. After the service, the boy could not forget what he had heard. At lunch he looked at the food on the table and became very quiet. His father asked, “What is troubling you?” The boy replied, “Dad, if we have more than enough, and that family has almost nothing, aren’t we going to do anything about it?” His words touched his parents deeply. That afternoon, they packed a basket with food, added a warm blanket, and wrote a small note that said, “You are not forgotten. God loves you, and so do we.” When they delivered it, the family receiving it wept with gratitude, and the little boy learned that love becomes real when it is shared. We hope we do the same. Amen.
