Think for a moment about the professions that are considered to be honorable.

Think for a moment the professions that earn the most money.

Now, think which professionals and workers you would miss the most if they went on strike.

For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many found themselves missing professional sports but…

Who do you think would be missed first a person’s favorite team collecting wins, or someone collecting their garbage?

Sanitation workers are the most essential of essential workers, but are often forgotten and not given the respect they deserve, and definitely not the pay they deserve.

The bible tells us to give honor to whom honor is due…

Romans 13:7 (NKJV)

⁷ Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.

Those whose profession is the very fabric of maintaining civilization itself deserve honor. In fact, it was on behalf of sanitation professionals that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was visiting Memphis when he was taken away.

The next time you take out garbage and don’t have to think about it anymore, thank God for your sanitation workers.

And, the next time you see them doing their job, give them some love, honor and respect.

BE BLESSTIFIED!

As the thought of watching thick, fluffy snowflakes fall creating a beautiful blanket on the ground makes the holiday seem more cozy to some…

It strikes the deepest dread, fear and anxiety into the hearts of the homeless.

As one parent asks, “What are we gonna eat tonight” wondering what snacks they’ll munch on while enjoying the snow with their children…

Another parent asks himself or herself, “What are we gonna eat tonight” because they’re wondering if they’ll have anything to feed their children.

As one child counts the money they have gotten for Christmas…

A homeless parent counts the dollars they were able to collect at an intersection, along with sneers, stares, insults and judgement as to how they got in that situation. They are trying to decide should we eat with this little money? Or try to get into the homeless shelter.

So, before you watch the weather forecast hoping for snow at your address…

Think about…

Pray for…

And if possible, do something to show love to someone who has no address.

Proverbs 21:13 (NASB)

¹³ One who shuts his ear to the outcry of the poor
Will also call out himself, and not be answered.

BE BLESSTIFIED!
