Eye opener
I was sent an email this weekend about a family in need.
The family (with two children 1 and 3) is graduating the City Rescue Mission's family program. They have lived at the shelter for right at 1 year.... They brought their newborn daughter "home" to a homeless shelter.
I groaned because we brought our youngest home to our temporary rent house. I hated the fact that he didn't (still doesn't) have a real nursery and that it isn't really our home.
This family lived in a room at a homeless shelter and are grateful for everything. They now have their own place and the father has a full time stable job.
Now, I am trying to figure out what I have that can be given to them for their household and what I should buy. My family is spoiled and this was a reminder of just how spoiled we are.
The email hit me like the letter that St. Jude sends out a week after the birth of my kids. I get irritated with the timing but it is such a real and needed reminder.
