Brown Bags for those in desperate need

If there is one thing we have learned, from living in Santa Barbara County, is that there is a vast gap between the incredibly wealthy and the desperately poor. We see too many of these needy on street corners, under the piers or freeway bridges, and in the shade of trees at a few of the local parks. While it is almost to easy to turn the other way or go numb to the problem; I'm quite confident that is NOT what Jesus would have done. So in our attempt to put a smile on a few faces we packed up some sack lunches and, at Braedyn's request, a McDonald's gift card, and headed out to spread a little love. It was beyond precious to see Braedyn in action handing the homeless a sack lunch and "a hamburger card". He received many, "God bless you little one(s)", that day. This little activity made quite an impression on his little heart and he is asking when we are going to go feed the homeless again. I, once, tried to give him an apple out of one of the brown bags because I had forgoten his snack and he was complaining of hunger pangs, but he told me no; "he didn't want to eat all the homeless people's food, he would wait."
