The Sound Of Poverty
Will all the givers come forth
Reach one person at a time
Reach out to those who are standing in line.
Reach out to the one who doesn’t have a dime.
Can’t you see her lying on the floor
Shivering cuddled up next to the door.
On the streets without a thing to eat
She doesn’t even have shoes on her feet.
Reach out to her children that starves
From time to time,
Can’t you see the one who stands by her mother crying because she doesn’t know
why she hasn’t had enough to eat.
They are all dressed in dirty rags
The children look up at their mother
who wears poverty as a shoulder bag
too heavy to carry because there is so much pain inside, she drags her feet looks on the ground while she prays another day they
all will be able to find something to eat and have a decent place to sleep.

Reach out and touch some bodies hand make this world a better place if you can! These words ring in my ear from time to time as I remember Diana Ross singing this song in the past. I often pondered over these words and I wondered if we are truly putting these words into practice.
I woke up this morning and thought I should begin to write this book to let everyone know that we must reach out and touch and never stop reaching beyond ourselves to touch others. This message is imperative and crucial if we want to benefit from living.

If I can help somebody along the way then my living shall not be in vain. This gospel song is also another reminder that we were born to reach out and touch others.
We were born with the purpose to help others. We were born to impact lives whether we choose to help or hinder the choice we make will affect our own lives in a positive or negative way.
We are living in a time where the focus of self is becoming more evident. Most People tend to focus on themselves and what others can do for them. The focus is now on I and not you. They forgot about we and it’s all about me.

Don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with loving yourself, because God even tells us to Love our neighbors as we love ourselves. So this lets us know that we must embrace ourselves and love self in order to truly love others.
What I am addressing is most people have a sense of self and only self. They forgot about helping others. They are only concerned about what they have or what they can get out of life.
They lose touch with the gift of living and that is blessing others. We must come to the realization that it is not all about us and what we can get all of the time.

We are living in a time where everyone focuses on themselves and what others can do for them. There comes a time in our lives that we must face the realness of self and ask the question, have I truly reached out and touch someone throughout my day, better yet my life thus far?
I want you to know that it is never too late to change the Me to We and the I to you .In order for us to reach out and touch those around us we must recognize it’s not all about us and what we can get all of the time.
The focus should be what are we giving to others, society, the less fortunate and anyone who is in need to be touched.

When you give to someone you are opening the door to self improvement, soul satisfaction and the release of love. Our soul cries out and yearns to be a blessing but sometimes we ignore the message we hear from within.
It is when we give we truly will receive, we all heard the saying it is more bless to give than to receive I concur with this thought and I go further by saying Giving is a gift from God.
The bible reveals this in Acts 20:35 I have showed you all things, how that so laboring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Reach Out and Touch Page 12
We cannot give aside from God’s leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit to do so. Giving touches the lives of others and connects us in a greater capacity to the hearts of many.
When we give, no matter how great or small, it brings joy to the recipient and also to the one who gives, if you have given without grudge or because you were forced to do so.
If you give in the proper manner with love and kindness it will always cause you to reap the benefits of giving. A giver never complains about what they gave regardless of their circumstance or situation.
A giver is always in a releasing posture and never closes there hand until the gift is deposited to the recipient.
