THE SILENT EPIDEMIC

Let's talk about a subject that everyone: ignores, sweeps under the rug, and thinks that it's someone else's responsibility but, they are SADLY MISTAKEN; because "ALL" of us as a SOCIETY: should, could, and MUST help out our fellow man/woman to put an END to this #1 SILENT EPIDEMIC called "HUNGER".

Have you ever wondered how many little ANGELS and TEENAGERS go to BED at night without eating a decent meal? It's BIZARRE how some people may believe or perceive that it's the parents fault due to the following addictions: drugs, alcohol, gambling, and even sex trafficking. Nonetheless, that's a FALSE assumption, we ask you this what about those: HARD working, kind hearted, dedicated, unemployed(due to the RECESSION and budget cuts), individuals that had to leave everything behind because of an abusive relationship, newly widowed, and 24/7 PARENTS that are without exception doing the best they can?

Throughout our time in the Ministry we've visited: shelters, hospitals, and homes of families that truly want to do right by their "BUNDLE of JOYS; however it hasn't been easy. So what we suggest to "ALL" of you is this:

  1. Prepare a bag with a few items such as: milk, cereal, rice, meat, bread, veggies, soda, cookies, soup, biscuits, and whatever else you think of.
  2. Then DONATE it either anonymously or take it to a: neighbor, friend, or relative in need.
  3. Don't ever: forget, look down on, or wait "TILL the COWS come HOME" before you lend a HELPING hand to someone.
  4. Afterwards, observe your Tokens of LOVE while they're eating and then tells us how you FELT?
It's crestfallen how so many: people, schools, organizations that are being funded by the government, and even some Churches find it so easy to: look the other way, say that it's not their problem, and are just be quick to judge without knowing or understanding the circumstances behind what compled and impacted these parents in such a massive way that their in a state of NUMBNESS.

We urgent EVERYONE that is reading this: blog, post, and note to think about what we're saying and find it in your HEARTS to come to the AID of a: mother, father, grandparents, uncle, aunt, or other guardians; because some people may FABRICATE a case against some unsupposed parent and try to persuade others into alerting the authories so that the children can be removed from their home. Do you think that's the way you come to the AID of a parent in need? As DOUBLE P's: Parents and Pastors, we've had the: honor, sorrow, and BLISSFUL GRACE of GOD to counsel both FINANCIALLY and SPIRITUALLY to parents on how to stay strong and not allow ANY GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION take their CHILDREN from them and we've SEEN the GLORY of GOD. We did this because we TRULY believe this: "THAT IT DOES TAKE A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD.

When have some SPARE TIME: CONTEMPATE, DELIBERATE, and REFLECT on this BIBLE verse:

PROVERBS 19:17

WHOEVER IS GENEROUS TO THE POOR LENDS TO THE LORD, AND HE WILL REPAY HIM FOR HIS DEED.

BLESSINGS,
