Should I or shouldn't I?

Well I did. On sunday I saw these two scrubbed face girls sitting at walmart with a sign. well one was standing. I stopped of course. Well they had come from Montana for a job. Older sis 26 who raised her sister 19 since she was 10.

Job was given to someone else after promised to older sis. ugh. PLUS they trained here, she ended up sick, has had lots of cancer issues and surgeries, took her front pack of money off, someone stole it.

ugh. she had enough money to get back to montana to her place she paid two months ahead. Now they have nothing. I checked them out on fb, looked at ID all of it. they were polite healthy clean etc. no one would help them. even pastors would not help. I told her ok I want to tell you right now, when people do this who claim to be a Christian, they are a false Christian. I in no way was going to allow them sleep in front of walmart again.

Dad is in Jamaica on a mission. mom died.

I told my 3 neighbor/friends, they of course were concerned but trusted me and to let them know how it goes for sure.

These girls did not ask for money, they wanted to work to get home! they did not realize they were in one of the most depressed places in oregon.

on their own they found a church miles away that would put them up and find them work. so I gathered my pennies ugh, and bused them to this city.

was a nice 3 days. they were wonderful, wanted to sleep in the barn, lol we took a mattress out there. there is a big framed window with no glass, glory my horse kept taking their blankets off and messing with their hair and stuff! she is so funny, she licks ya too.

all the animals loved them and got tons of attention.

I did my huge trek to a big city to get my little dog. He had been in the humane society for months. they said he cannot be with any other dogs or animals. they asked me if i had pets. I said no. I don't consider my animals my pets. they are my family.

so i didn't like. first day I sat him on the floor when we all woke up and he is perfectly fine.

anyhoo just letting you know I am doing my best to be part of and not isolating.

hugs

I sure don't think any of this was a coincidence and I loved the story of Glory and the gals in the barn, too. Made me grin from ear to ear. Glad the gals had a safe place to stay with a safe gal and her beloveds. (((D)))

Debilyn... our world wants, and needs, connection. Throwing money at problems, and issues, is a very short term fix. To help turn lives around is a great gift... I needed this read... smile

What a lovely story, filled me with that warm lovely joy feeling that one gets when something is just so right.
You and your family clearly have great instincts and its so jolly that you brought your little dog home. Made me chuckle! Have a great day.

I shared with some friends this morning that my wake up conversation with HP is "Place me where you want me...tell me what to do" and here I read your practice of it.  You're part of the crew Debber...the "do crew"...don't just talk it....Walk it!!  HP's grateful for you...I just know.    (((((hugs))))) smile
