Bible wisdom asserts that people have powerful hungers that will not be satisfied by bread alone. (Deuteronomy 8:3). We, human beings have other hungers. Be be aware of them, and to act upon them, makes life rich and splendid.
What are those hungers, you might ask?
Well, don't you have a hunger for love and affection? Without them you"ll shrivel and die in spirit.
And, there are other hungers which make us fully human. We hunger to be needed, to be useful and vital in some life other than our own That hunger tells us that we need to perform some tasks that enrich our church, our community, our circle of friends.
I wish more people experienced a hunger for contributing a little kindness and goodness. That would renew faith and go a long way toward increasing tolerance and civility.
While it is important to be aware of the millions of people who don't get enough to eat, it is important to nourish our souls with that which has imperishable meaning, and which gives us dignity and self-respect.
With blessings and in friendship,
Richard
