this is for the people that think that everybody that's on snap is abusing the system

if you are a elderly person or disabled person seems to me like you fall under the category that you should receive food stamps or snap not everybody that draws snap is abusing the system but the system should be more accountable and only give snap to people that need it not people that just want it because they want to spend their money on other stuff and have the government by their food I don't think $80 is really enough for food for a month but you have to realize that this is a supplemental program that means you have to buy other food to go with it in order to stretch it out for the month. I know several people that work and they just don't make enough money to pay all their bills and buy food so this program is really good for them because they can use what money they have left to go with their food stamps to make them last for the month.

From Control to Surrender Anxiety often grows out of our desire to control what we cannot. We replay conversations, plan out every possible outcome, and grasp for certainty. But the more we try to hold everything together, the more anxious we feel. Control promises relief but delivers exhaustion. Surrender is the opposite. It is not giving up. It is giving over. Proverbs tells us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts, not lean on our own understanding, and submit to Him so that He makes the path clear (Proverbs 3:5–6). The psalmist reminds us that God bears our burdens daily (Psalm 68:19). Every morning, every situation, He is strong enough to carry what weighs us down. Peter echoes this truth, calling us to humility and inviting us to cast our cares on God because He truly cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). Control keeps us anxious. Surrender sets us free. Prayer: Lord, I confess that I often try to control what only You can handle. Teach me to surrender my cares to You in trust. Remind me that Your hands are stronger than mine and that You bear my burdens daily. Daily Challenge: Think of one situation you have been trying to control. Today, pray over it and verbally surrender it to God, saying: “Lord, I trust you. This belongs to You.”

People’s negative attitudes toward snap benefits are so wrong!

I’m a disabled senior, and was getting snap, until the government decided I make too much money. With high rents, increasing utilities, groceries getting more expensive every month I have to be very careful about what I spend on food. I eat a lot of ramen, oatmeal etc. I don’t eat very healthy because I can’t afford it. I have had several caregivers who received snap. These women are working and doing their best to keep a roof over their heads, but the help they get from snap makes a huge difference in their children’s lives. They would be malnourished without it. Then you’d be saying the parents should be jailed for neglect. What’s the big deal about buying a damn cake for a child’s birthday? All of you who say snap should be stopped because people are lazy and don’t work are ignorant, and lack empathy. You should be ashamed!
