so today as i was coming back to the church from lunch there was a family that was offering to rake our leaves for some money. susan, of course informed them that our custodian, david, does these tasks. as i was turning the key to get inside she said 'excuse me ma'am'....to which i replied, 'yes'. do you guys have any food inside to feed a family of 4. we have our children in the car.
i had to tell them
no, ma'am not at this church. then i directed her to some local neighborhood centers, churches and soup kitchens that would be able to provide food, clothing and groceries for them.
she told me they were low on gas.
i simply apologized and told them i hoped that some of the organizations could help them because we simply could not.
oh how situations like these make my heart ache
