I have been adopted by a homeless couple. Its the reverse of normal. Usually someone makes a commitment to adopt a needy person. This couple has attached themselves to me.
They call me all the time. Yesterday, he called me four times. Part of me wants to walk on by, but I just can't do it. I have to find some agency or something that can help them. I can't do it all. I don't want to think of them and their needs all the time, but it sure has taken up a goodly amount of my brain. Maybe that is a good thing.
They are staying at this motel on 40 highway. $20 per night. We forget how blessed we are. We also forget that the good news is for everyone, not just the folks that live in our comfort zone. I know there is a reason why all of this is on my mind.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

I visited with them yesterday. They truly are in need of help. Sadly they are just two of many.
When I read this yesterday, I thought, why is he talking about this again? He just talked about it in church Sunday, and also a few weeks ago on the blog. Probably because it needed to drop a foot or so, from my head to my heart! Like many others I had heard the story, but I hadn't listened to the story.
Since the Bartmans moved, I have trouble finding a place for leftovers. Maybe I've found a place for those. Sadly for you, this may include Christmas Day. I'll have to find out which unit they occupy. I am making salmon.
What can we do ... Let us know ... Kb
