“Not Even the Crumbs”

We moved to Haiti on July 1, 1991. I was always amazed at how the poor survive. Nearly every poor child I have talked to has said they go two days without food, but many say, “three days without food.” And while they are hungry, they are always trying to find sticks to sell, or sometimes their mother will buy a “mud cookie” for them to eat. They also drink boiled salt water. But the rich, even if they would give a little of their wealth, could be helping so many. This is the Bible story of the “rich man and Lazarus.” They won’t even give them their “crumbs!” That’s what the Bible says about the rich man in Luke 16:19-30. He would not even give poor Lazarus the “crumbs” that fell from his table.

May God richly bless as you are reading this right now. We know you love the poor. And God will bless you abundantly for every gift you have given, every sacrifice you have made, and every prayer you have prayed to help the poor. We love you.
