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'.......

Hear hear - and now for the video - will I need dark glasses?
Thanks Michael. Erm, there's a bit of blood! A cheery advert popped up too on the clip: 'Death Registers Online'. Oh dear! Have a nice day.
A very good and appropriate write Orchi, the video shows a great explanation of the problem, well done for making us aware.
Thanks Gold.
Thanks UNCLE STEVE : Some of my Physiotherapy Clients have AIDS and in massage : and other hands on procedures I have to touch them you cant massage with gloves on : also the HEALING is
transmitted through my HANDS ! Am I scared ? NO because I work for JESUS and He will protect me 24/7 ! Brian & I have friends who have worked with LEPERS for Years and GOD has preserved Them ~ AMEN. Also Brian has Students who are HIV positive and he treats them like everyone else : OK Love in the SPIRIT : ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Thanks for sharing & raising awareness : AMEN
Thanks B&A. maybe the trouble is if they spat on you, or something. But then you wouldn't want to treat such anti-social people. Yet I'm 'fussy' about mouth-to-mouth 'kiss of life', whether HIV or not. Probably me being swoony, calling it the 'kiss of life'!
