Blog Action Day!- Poverty

Poverty is a horrible thing no matter what aspect of life it affects, but just throwing money at it won't completely solve the problem.

When it comes to poverty there are no easy answers. With the US in an economic crisis money and poverty are on everyone's mind. But poverty isn't just about money. People can be poor in many other ways, such as health, spirit, and love.

When it comes to helping others who are suffering we need not look too far. Just look at your own family, friends, and communtiy. There is no better time than now to help those in need. If money is tight for you, as it is for most right now, give your time, love, and energy to others.

Give your time to others who might need someone to help watch their children. Give your love to those whho just need someone who will listen to what they have to say. Truly listen! And give your energy to those around you, especially your family, that need help in even the smallest of ways.  

True giving should hurt a little. If you give because you just have too much of something then that is not true giving. Give to others what you yourself would need.
