For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
If you’re here because food stamps didn’t come through — There’s still hope.
Hope. Believe. Pray. And if you can… Help.
