Longing for shelter, many are homeless.
Longing for warmth, many are cold.
Make us your building, sheltering others,
walls made of living stone.
This was one of the hymn verses we sang at church today. I think it emphasizes some important things that are important in taking care of others, whether you are connected to a church or not. It's not just about the material things we can give. Shelter from the elements is necessary, but not sufficient. The hearts and attitude play a big role for both the givers and the receivers.
