An Offer To Pray!

a prayer group stopped a man
walking down the street,
and offered to pray for him....

he turned and said:
'dont pray for me unless
you have something i can eat...

maybe a cup of coffee...
and if you havent got anywhere
for me to sleep... maybe,

just a blanket, or a coat...'

he thought a minute, and spoke again:
'i tell you what, forget all that....
i dont want you to give me anything...

except a chance to work, and earn my way! '

they were speechless...
he turned and walked away!
