He had a nasty head and face injury and when a woman asked for a first aid kit she was told there wasn't one. the man was afraid of going to hospital - his dad had died in the local one 2 years before and he could not face the judgemental attitudes of people. He was cleaned up with paper towels to the woman's sadness - if the man had not been a tramp he would have been cleaned up using a first aid kit. He was too frightened to go in an ambulance yet nobody offered to drive him in a car, he also had epilepsy and his head injury was caused by falling.He arrived at the church having walked about 8 miles from the hospital - he had been taken in an ambulance but ran from there. eventually an ambulance was called and the tramp signed the disclaimer form and had a major fit when the ambulance left. eventually after a couple more fits the woman accompanied him to the hospital and stayed for a few hours until he was settled and admitted as an in patient.when we shrug our shoulders and avoid potential trouble we often neglect those who find it hardest to ask for help and when the people are old they have probably had more rejection than we can possibly imagine. never be afraid to give waterto someone who needs a drink – a tramp while ill walked into a church hall just after a service.

You will have done the kindness, and minimized risks. Matt 25:35-40 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 37 "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' 40 "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

Matt 25:35-40
35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’
