This is a blog post from a view of the Secret Millionaire episode and this viewer is reaching deep inside to see how charity fits into the lives of people who identify as Christian.

There was one episode where the man that was helping the poor by feeding and clothing them seen a man who needed shoes... This man took his own shoes off his feet and gave them to the homeless man without thinking twice... I wonder how many times if we seen people like this that we as Christians would stop and give them the shoes off our feet or would we look down at them with pity and walk away? 
In our own area here in St. George you can walk down the street and see homeless people with families... You can tell who they are, and for some reason people will go to the other side of the street to get away from them and look away... Is this what our world has come to where people look away from those who are in need... I know many have put themselves in the situation they are in, but many haven't... No matter what the reason may be that they are there, shouldn't someone be willing to help them and show them that there are others that care... 
I think there is a stigma when it comes to the poor, homeless and the not so pleasant people... Maybe it's because of the news..
I was reading this other blog and I liked what he said, "It's time for Christians to start acting like Christians." And that is where I am going to leave this... Maybe that will be my affirmation thought for today...
