Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves and for the rights of all who are destitute.

Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Our senior citizens are in desperate need of advocates.

I’ve spent a lifetime speaking out and speaking up for a lonely and voiceless generation to which I now belong.

Lacking money, energy, and basic technological skills to make their voices heard in an online world, their concerns and requests largely remain swept under a rug.

They are a lost generation becoming more invisible by the day for lack of interest and enthusiasm within the now selfish generations they created.

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬

One by one and in huge numbers they are becoming an impoverished cohort of forgotten stories and crushed voices whose equal rights are without equal representation.

God instructs us to be advocates for the needy with whom we share this earth.

If we fail, what goes around will—in time—most certainly come back around.
