…so, if you read this blog, you know how I feel on Mondays. They’re just not my favorite day….
But, this morning I keep thinking about how I would feel on this Monday…or any other day if I were in the shoes of someone else……someone like one of the moms of an adopted C3 family…..
You see, there’s one mother…with 3 little bitty kids - they’ve received notice that they are to be evicted on Christmas Eve. She’s able to come up with half of the money she owes, but it’s not enough…..
You can read more about it HERE and HERE….
The difficulties so many families are facing are astounding….this is a hard time - especially financially - for everyone. But, I’m reminded on this Monday that my complaints about this day are nothing compared to what one mother must feel…
Please pray for her - help if you can….but, mainly pray for all of these families.
We still have so much to do…so many lives to touch. Somehow helping gives me hope….a purpose, beyond my disdain for Monday mornings….
…to think of how I would feel in someone else’s shoes.
Peace.
yes, sometimes we get so wrapped up in thinking of all the things in our own lives that aren’t just as we’d like them to be, and forget that some people would be content with not having to worry about a place to sleep and food for their family. We get so selfish sometimes. It is good to stop and feel other’s pain. It makes us embrace the huge way our lives are filled with plenty.
Thanks for posting this, Angie. Some good news: The family got a small extension. They have until the end of next week now and hopefully before then they will be able to get an even longer extension. Also they have a couple job prospects so hopefully those will come through! God can do amazing things…we’re so thankful for C3 making it possible for us to help all these families!!
Angie I just wanted to stop in and wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I want to especially thank you for the words of encouragement and the prayers for Marc and I. I know people say they are praying for you all the time, but somehow I have felt your prayers. I pray for you, Byron and C3. May God continue to bless your ministry and the people around you.
