Would You

If a man came to you and said, "I am hungry.",
  would you give him food or turn him away?
If a woman came to you and said, "I am thirsty.",
  would you give her water or turn her away?
If a blind person came to you and said, "I can't see.",
  would you lead that person to a safe place or leave them standing?
If a child came to you and said, "I am lost.",
  would you help them find their mother or would you walk away?
If you walked upon someone being beaten and crying out for help,
  would you stop and help or look and walk away?
If you saw someone crying and alone,
  would you offer comfort or leave them alone?
If you had the chance to do any of these things, would you?

Words just running through my mind.

With things I see, hear and feel, sometimes I question the humanity of the human race.
When I think of these things, I wonder if it were me, would someone help me if they didn't know me. I would hope that they would.
I have been in most of those position at one time or another in my life, whether as a child, adult or parent. I know how it feels. Each and everytime I needed help with something, it was always provided by the grace of GOD, Whether it be a family member, friend or stranger.
This piece is not ment to hurt or anger anyone. It is just my mind wordering tonight after seeing the news.
