Please, I beg

As we walked through the market today, well passed by it really, on our
way to meet some friends we were met by some children begging in the
midst of the crowd. It's painful really that sometimes it's so normal we
forget, like me forgetting to remind Michelle to expect it. I should
have know she too has had her share of begging children experiences but
even though we both weren't surprised that doesn't make it easier. What
about the least of these? I wish I could make it better, I wish I had an
answer that would feed their belly and move them out of this situation.
I wish they didn't have to beg me. It was sad and frustrating and leaves
us feeling somehow helpless.
