Hitting Home

I have watched yet another family on my block lose their home. This one was not pleasant to hear about at all. Compassion is completely gone out of our system. Maybe even out of my own system. (It’s something I need to keep before the Lord.) But this family is out on their ear with stuff being tossed out by sheriff’s goons.

It’s enough to make me a #$@! liberal. But even a #&@! liberal organization wouldn’t help this family tonight. It’s not enough to just look on. It’s not enough to shake our heads and talk about “personal responsibility.” We have a deep problem that is not going away anytime soon.

  1. Heartbreaking it is. “Personal responsibility” is contingent on a job being available.

    1. Exactly. We can keep trying and STILL have tough hits like this.

  2. All I know is to help where we can and pray.

  3. What happens to this poor family now – and to other families in similar circumstances? Can they find any welfare support, governmental or charitable? I have watched documentaries of tent communities below city flyovers in which many homeless and jobless live with little hope for a better future. How can we allow this to happen in the wealthiest country in the 21st century? Do the financiers and sheriffs have no compassion or conscience? Where are the Christian churches in all this?

  4. The churches struggle in this as well. Our own church has worked hard to help those within the body who have struggled… and it has been miraculous to see the supply of the Lord.
