Tonight I had a can of beans for supper
Tonight I had a can of beans for supper actually its all I ate all day except for a P&J. I drained off all the water/juice and had an old bottle of hot barbeque sauce, left over parmesan cheese in packets from Pizza Hut™. I call it “Beans & Cheese”. It was good but now I am hungry again, I must have thought I was eating Chinese food.
The receipt goes like this
One can of beans I had.
Add a couple of good drops of sauce. I had some store brand hot BBQ sauce I bought for 99 cents that was on special. A couple of big drops of BBQ Sauce. (Couple, that means “two” to those who do not know what a couple means) (You be surprised no one under the age of 30 knows what couple means.)
Two slices of good bread. G-D blessed me with Pepperidge Farm’s™ bread. It s day old but its still great.
This is good cold if you on the streets but Praise G-D I have a house with a gas stove so I was able to heat it up.
Cooking instructions:
Open can and drain beans
Put drained beans in cooking pot.
Tear bread in small pieces and add with beans.
Put enough BBQ sauce in to moisten beans and moisten bread.
Stir mixture; add more sauce as needed.
Cook mixture until hot and remove from stove.
Stir in black pepper to taste
Open packets of cheese and sprinkle heavy over the mixture.
Eat, and enjoy
When you are poor and almost homeless, you do what you can to eat. It has been a week of chasing people down that has not paid for work. Rent is coming up this week and all you can do is just keep trusting G-D for the best.
In Orangeburg, we do not have the visible homeless as in other cities so you do not have the visible opportunities to help. Homelessness is more visible when you are in Atlanta even Columbia. Here you see only glimpses of destitute poverty.
Most churches here do not have programs for the poor and homeless but refer the unfortunate person to CCMO (Co-operative Churches Ministry Organization). While CCMO is, a good program it is for today's need not long term help as long as you need organization and that is what is needed. The government has welfare and a check if you prove you are “mental” but to the ones that need a hand up not a hand help is not here in Orangeburg, never has and most likely never will.
Not to pass judgment but I have been in this type of ministry all my adult life as well as lived a simple life as well you know what works and what does not.
The first thing that “do-gooders” as they are called on the streets is to try to take your dignity and pets from you, I know this personally.
People will help you only in the framework they want and to h _ _l if it helps you or not.
This is a sad blog today but it is getting hard to get others to truly help others and not only for their own self-serving enrichment.
When Yeshua/Jesus was here, he went out of his comfort zone to help anyone he could. Today the church is open for and hour or so and then when the show is over they pass the plate. “Don’t want the preacher to be homeless you know.” It is no wonder why false religions have taken over and Hollywood churches are ranking it in.
We have to get back to being a servant to help feed the poor, helping the children, widows etc. This earth is not our home and our relationship with G-D must include having relationships with all of his creation both humans, animals, land, sea and air.
Sit back, reflect and ask G-D how you and others can make a difference.
Next time I will give examples on how you can help.
Till next time.
