The Poor and Needy Among Us

In all seriousness, when people have praised my wife and me for taking in friends of our children who have been kicked out of their own homes, or housing a family for a few months while they got their lives back in order, I always thought, "What's so special about what we are doing? It's not like it's a terribly difficult thing."

I think we only neglect the poor and needy "around" us when we don't allow them to be "among" or "of" us.
