sunday 160-the homeless

A beggar on the street corner
dirty clothes and smelling of swine
while cars, they just drive on by.
He probably needs a helping hand
-maybe it should be mine.

**this is a Sunday 160 sponsored by Monkey Man.  Head over there to take a peek, read a few, and maybe try it for yourself.

  6. beautiful 160!
    at the moment our church has saturday night services on our town's market place and lots of homeless people are around, drinking and listening to a message that may set them free, connecting to us and starting to gain trust
