Juany makes 500 pesos a week. That's $39.80 in dollars.
Tonight, I asked Juany if she wanted to go to Supersalads with me for dinner. Normally, I pay for her because she can't afford it. Tonight, when we got the bill, she told me to put my purse away. She pulled out over 200 pesos, over half her weekly salary, and paid for my meal. When I fought with her over it, she grabbed my purse and said "let me pay for you, PLEASE."
What do you say to that? She bought my expensive sandwich and salad with half her weekly pay. What if I had given her half my weekly salary and told her to jump on a plane and take a vacation? It's the exact same thing.
She is so generous with the little she has. The best part is, she doesn't even realize it.
God has a special place for the poor.The poor are where God lives. God is in the slums in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house. God is where opportunity is lost & lives are shattered. God is with the mother who has infected her child with a virus that will take both their lives. God is under the rubble in the cries we hear during wartime. God my friends, is with the poor & God is with us if we are with them. -Bono-
