It seems that there is a general principle that there will always be 'the poor' among us. Jesus speaks about the poor and we can see them today. To some extent it depends on the time period we live in. During the Great Depression, many people were poor and ate only in soup lines. The brothers and sisters in Africa will define poor different than we do. My great-Grandad and his family,that lived on this ranch, used the water in the small creek by my house to drink and bath in. The family of 9 drank at the same place as their cows and other animals. They didn't think of themselves as poor. Their house was so small that the boys sleep outside.
