Help!!

Help!! We all shout it. We all need it.. and often give it. It indicates a position of need or dilemma.
When we bow our heads to pray or stretch our hands to heaven..we somehow say "Help!"
But did you hear it today? In the eyes of the child in the streets. Or in that old man's bent over posture? In the beggar's limp on an overly burdened leg. In your mum's complaining that she needs someone to talk to or your friend's quiet statement 'I think I've lost you."

The world around us cries "Help" each day. Funny that we are so swamped with our own burdens that we do not hear.
