Are you lucky or not lucky?

Lucky or Not So Lucky?

Hey look is that a wallet on the ground? What would you do if you found a wallet on the ground? Most of us the first thing wed do is look and see if there was any money in it right? Yep it has money let’s say about 200 dollars. Now what do you do? Do you turn it in just like you found it? Do you help yourself to a little cash reward? Thinking the person might just be happy getting their drivers license and credit cards back? I’ve been on both sides of this issue and while it seems bad when the person takes the cash in a lot of ways you really should consider yourself lucky you got it back at all.

Seeking Help

Seeking a Home

I was attending church like I often do on Sunday when I was surprised to see someone from my past. A former student I knew from college arrived with his family. We recognized each other immediately and began talking. He told me how his family was seeking a church to call home. I was super excited and of course welcomed him. I knew of his faith personally, in fact he gave me a wedding present that I used to purchase a large print bible (standard bibles have super tiny writing) and I still use it to this day.

He and his family have now been with us well over a year now and over this time we have become close like a family. Not only do we see each other on Sundays but we talk more and more during the week. We help each other in times of trouble and we trust one another to be an ear to listen. Sometimes you just need someone you can trust to open up to that is not in your immediate family. You never realize that people you meet either at work or school could just one day wander into your private life and become like family.
