I, too, have felt lately that there should be more that I'm doing than what I do already. I don't know that there's anyone living in a dumpster 3 miles from me, but I know someone who goes to the Goodwill dumpster and gets clothing they have thrown away as not being appropriate for the store. He's just dressed for winter that way. I'm sure there are others. We live in the greatest, wealthiest country on earth. How can people here be living like this? How can we not be doing more to get them to functioning beyond the survival level? I'm curious if you found an answer for what you could do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760476150662544309.post-25043090161817360092015-08-11T00:46:46.878-04:002015-08-11T00:46:46.878-04:00You clearly have a big and warm heart.

We do indeed need to take care of each other since we live in a community. By writing this post and expressing your compassion, get the word out and bringing awareness, you are doing lots already for this couple and others in need. Helping others doesn't always need to be measured in material items.

The doing comes from that hearing. I work with the homeless and have seen situation after situation just like this and it is very sad about that couple and especially about the child on the way. Zella God gave you a heart and you chose to serve Him, he gave you gifts and finances, you choose to honor him with them. He will show you what to do and your blog can be a beacon, just like your life is. If that Couple turns to God, he can turn their lives around. God will lead what your community church can do. Only God knows the reason they ended up where they did and he can fix it! I'll keep you in my prayers - Be glad for what God has given you, he wants you to be happy and use it to give him glory.!

Through Church, I have been able to do just that and every little bit of yourself that you give away puts more good into the world. It is a hard struggle to determine if it is in God's plan for these young people to experiences this to make them humble in some way, or if he does it to make us humble! God Bless you and I will pray for you for discernment in your walk!!!Shelly Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765591282511833255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760476150662544309.post-2631769622019015342015-07-20T10:00:36.313-04:002015-07-20T10:00:36.313-04:00You speak a truth that we all struggle with, Zella...You speak a truth that we all struggle with, Zella.

Like I have "this to say" in here, but it doesn't reach it to the right place 'out there' - so I hear you. You do so much, and I am sure your friendship to others and worship at church touches lives. I pray you get your answer you are seeking :)MiamiKelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02692679067401553242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760476150662544309.post-72494333445106617172015-07-18T15:20:31.905-04:002015-07-18T15:20:31.905-04:00Your post touched my heart.
