Close To Home

On my way home today, I saw a guy walking through the neighborhood with a stack of green brochures in his hand. I didn't think much of it, until I got home and read the green sliver of paper. On it was a plea from one of our neighbors asking for any work. From mowing lawns, to running errands, this couple was willing to anything to just survive. My heart was so sad for them.

Hitting so close to home, I can't imagine anyone in our sub-division not wanting to give them something to do, but if they are like we are, there's not enough cash going around to give them any work. In fact, I wonder how many people are only a few weeks away from the same kind of desperation.

Times like these are extremely tough yet in all these things, we must never lose hope that God is here. It may not feel like it, you're bank account may not show it, but his word promises us that he is and that he will never leave us.

If there is one thing I've learned over the course of my life it's this simple rule...no matter what happens, no matter what comes your way, no matter what you're facing...don't every quit! God will get you through in some way, and at the end of the storm you'll be glad you put your trust in him.
