It wasn't supposed to be this way - my life.
But then I also believe that everything happens for a reason and God oversees everything, so I guess everything was meant to happen. Doesn't mean I have to be happy about it, but with God's love and Jesus by my side, at least I can accept it.
What I DO find hard to accept is that we have become a nation that doesn't care about the quality of our fellow human being's lives. We are dispensable, having no worth without a lot of money and with the economy in the dumper like it is, folks like me are just a step away from homelessness.
I found out yesterday that here in Washington state welfare, (DSHS), has stopped cash benefits for a super large population of people - such as those that have been diagnosed as unable to work because to mental/emotional problems. They were getting $197 a month, now they get zero. Washington, like most other states I imagine, are cutting programs left and right for the poor, elderly and handicapped.
Does anyone care?
Does tending to the needs of the poor now become the duty of the church?
