World AIDS Day - Dec 1st
********
Just some thoughts, in considering
\'What is AIDS?\' A modern leprosy?
What is our response?
Sadly, people may have themselves to blame for it
Yet not to enter into judgement of them
Their poor state - maybe bed-ridden
Or always feeling ill and infected
To show love and compassion...
Jesus even touched a leper
Let\'s not be:
\'Ugh!\' Oh no!\' \'I\'m not touching him/her\'
\'Disgusting\' \' a sort of plague\'.....
Yet Jesus\' touch brought healing
Medicines may help too
Relieving pain, etc
Even if no human cure
The immune system itself is deficient.....
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
Give aid to AIDS victims, where we can....
Wear red ribbon if you have one
Yes, often may be...
\'There\'s always someone worse off than us\'
Yet we have our matters too
Our problems, difficulties, sufferings, etc....
A thought or two
A prayer or two
Some help, some thing to help them in some way...
Better than nothing
We \'pass not by on the other side\'.......
