Haves and Have Nots

The world we are living in is full of destitute and deprived people who live and suffer daily just to survive.  Right next door is the rich and well-off, with little empathy for their neighbors.  This image makes me realize how much an impact just one person can have.

Serving is a fantastic way to spend the day.  I wonder in what ways the rich on the right in this photo, could possibly serve the poor, on the left in this photo.  It feels like the starfish on the beach... even though you can't save them all, each one you do rescue or touch has made a difference.

Will our world ever be fair and equal for all?  Is there any way to get past the greed and selfishness to really work together for the good of all?  Our church in Snoqualmie (Church on the Ridge) is headed with a team to Honduras to help the poor.  I'm certain the team will return changed people for what they were able to experience there... learning from the 'poor' with little or nothing. (http://cotrhonduras.tumblr.com).  Please pray for them, and especially for the poor in this world.  I know God has a plan that includes treasures in heaven, but it would also be nice to spark a world-wide love for our neighbors.
