The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Eleven

THE SEVEN POVERTY’S of CHRISTMAS ~ Day 11
Angels On Earth As They Are In Heaven 

The metal from the man’s prosthesis gleamed in the sun as he lay on the sidewalk. An old Army green wool blanket partially covered his curled up body. A rolled up newspaper was under his head providing a small cushion on the cold cement. There was a sewer grate on the curb just a few feet from his head. 

Most passersby gave a quick glance, registered a bit of pity in their hearts and kept going. Many of them were on their way to church. To them he was just another poor lost soul in a city of many homeless folks looking for a handout.

It was 7 am on December 18 and the Army of Angels had just passed through the firmament between heaven and earth. Today was the beginning of the Seven Poverty’s of Christmas. Wisdom had trained them for this special occasion to coincide with the Seven Days Before Christmas. 

Each angel was assigned a specific territory on earth. They would designate certain individuals to receive one or more of the Seven Poverty’s of Christmas. This distinction was referred to as the Blessing of Deficit. The man with the metal leg represented an opportunity for someone to perform an Act of Compassion. The Poverty of Flesh was lying on the sidewalk.

The angel reviewed Wisdom’s Teaching on the Poverty of Flesh.
[1. The greater the brokenness in spirit, the greater the understanding of how to alleviate suffering in broken flesh. 
2. Humbleness in spirit creates helpfulness to hurting humans. 
3. Lean not on your broken flesh, but rather seek mercy and grace on your way to wisdom
4. All broken bodies are temples in disrepair waiting for compassion to rebuild them.
5. Temporary brokenness on earth is a Bridge to Permanent Healedness in heaven.
6. Grace undeserved is meant to be freely given to the under served.
7. The Seven Words of Renewal: Recognize, Respond, Relieve, Redeem, Release, Respect and Raise.
The eyes of Wisdom will go round about the earth looking for brokenness and those who offer tenderness. 
Your task will be to take special note and record those offerings. 
In the coming days they will be known as Compassioneers, Gracegivers and Rebuilders.
The Law of First Sight demands 
that you give a Second Look.]

The man didn’t have a sign and wasn’t begging, he was just there - sleeping. All of the cars drove by granting only a glance of First Sight except one. A man and his wife were on their way to church. They were already late. The First Sight of their eyes demanded a Second Look from the hearts. They turned around and drove back to where the one legged man was lying on the sidewalk. 

After getting out of his car, the man almost tripped on the curb as his eyes were fixed on the metal leg gleaming in the sun. The man with the metal leg lifted his head, smiled and said hello. After some small talk, the man with two legs asked the one legged man how he could help him. He replied: “I’m good, just waiting for a ride.” 

After praying with the man and leaving him a business card, the man and his wife went off to church. Nothing special happened except maybe the one legged man knew somebody cared. Caring is a big thing in this world. The angel smiled and recorded the Act of Compassion.
