Farkel,
Thank you for sharing your story.
About two weeks or so, my daughter, two of her friends and I found ourselves in downtown Fresno. Since there's a lot of Social Service agencies down there, there's many in need.
Anyhow we went in our favorite little Chinese food place and as we're sitting outside enjoying the food, a rather large man comes up to me and asks, "Would you like some free food?" Ha ha, I must've looked real poor. Can't wear my wedding rings cus my fingers are too swollen. So just a frazzled pregnant woman surrounded by kids.
I actually laughed out loud, and smiled. The man gave me a flier and told me his church gives away free food every Saturday or something, and all I had to do was show up! Not even show ID!
Well, my greedy side WAS tempted to go get some free food, LOL, but I was just so impressed that there were people spending their day looking for those in need.
Jesus fed the crowds,
even when he knew they weren't interested in his message! JWs have a lot to learn.
I hope your situation turns. If you're anywhere in CA, email me I may be able to help.
