Helping a Friend (Part 1)
I am writing this from my phone before I go into prayer time for a friend.
The company my friend works for started laying people off in September. But he was one of the lucky ones to keep his job. But to stay on the payroll he had to take a 50% cut from 40 hours a week to 20.
Now it’s taking it’s toll. He
can’t pay bills or upcoming rent.
I know it’s all in God’s hands. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t help, Right?
I want to help my friend but he’s too prideful to ask for help or accept a giving hand.
I can remember when I was laid off my job in 2008 some one from church came up to me and helped me out by giving my family food from their overstocked garage.
Three years later it’s
time to pay it forward. We are fortunate enough too have extra food we had stocked up for a possible strike at my wife’s work in October that never happened. So we have this food in our garage not being eaten. So I want my friend to come over Tuesday night and take some of the food away.
I just have to get him over there to take it. That might be the tough part. I have a plan that just might work.
My heat is broken almost every day when I hear and see people that are struggling in our great country America. We are so rich and some are becoming richer.
Let’s just not forget where we came from. And if ever given the chance lend out a helping hand.
