Day 9: Walking in the shoes of the homeless and unemployed

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

I find myself not wanting to close my eyes and go to sleep. I am so tired. Actually at the end of each night, I’m so tired. But, I don’t want to go to sleep. I’m lonely. I feel so alone. Yes, I’ve made friends here, and I’m getting along with everyone.

“What is it, Sapphire? Tell me. You know what it is,” God whispered.

I want to go home. My home. The home you promised me. I want a home. I want some surety and stability. I want love.

“Say it, Sapphire.”

My Old Flame is coming up. I don’t know why, but he’s coming up in my mind.

Opportunity to Celebrate

Obviously, we should all celebrate the roof over our heads and the nourishment we receive no matter how it is viewed by economic or social standards. Yet, how can you "celebrate" blessings if you are homeless, hungry, unemployed, and cannot provide for your family? How, as a citizen or community leader, have you honored the value in all individuals regardless of their economic status or living situation? I celebrate by giving praise to God for providing for my needs and then share that praise with others as I do with this blog.
