Today, i was thinking. My family is going through a really hard time right now. My son is very sick, my husband lost his job, he can't seem to find another one and everything seems to be closing in on us. We just lost our van that we transport our son back and forth to the doctor's appointments, it was reposessed, we are on the verge of losing our house, and it really seems impossible sometimes.
I ask myself DAILY; How am I going to feed the family, pay the light bill, water bill, etc. And it seems like it is hopeless, like there is No light at the end of the tunnel.
You know I can say that lately times have been really hard. It is very hard to make sure your 13 year old son gets feed through his new G-tube every three hours, that your other two children don't go unnoticed, the house gets clean, the bills get paid, and everyone is happy. Man that is hard. There is no time for........anything.
Sometimes I think that we have forgotten how to give to each other. When one of our fellow human beings has a need, a real need, that we have all forgotten how to help. I am not saying everyone has forgotten but me, because I have forgotten to. Maybe this is the lesson that God wants me to learn through this trial. I am seeing first hand that we as a people need to help each other, reach out to each other more often. My family needs help, and there is no one knocking down our doors to help us. I know that God will take care of us, he always will, but sometimes I think He is waiting to see who else will help. There is a need, and I know that it WILL be fullfilled, by the hand of Jesus Christ. It is also saddening to know that so many people out there in our community know what our situation is and still turn their backs. It is sad that we are not the only ones with a need. there are so many people out there in our communities that need our help.
I know that this is hard for some people to hear it was hard for me to write, knowing that this is me. I come away from this experience changed for the better. I feel I have grown a little closer to God.
God will provide for us, I know this in my heart of hearts. And I have learned many valuable lessons from this trial in my life, I can only hope that someone out there will learn how to Help again, as I have.
Please pray for my family, lift us up, as I will.
God bless ALL!!!
