Once Upon a Mom's Life

"share your food with the hungry and bring poor homeless people into your own homes. when you see someone who has no clothes,
give him yours,
and don't refuse to help your own relatives."
Isaiah 58:7

I am struggling with a huge decision that I have to make. A member of my family needs some help. If we provide the help that is needed, it will directly affect our entire household. I am just not sure if I want to rock our boat. But I also believe that God has given me a heart to help out in this situation.

Not sure what I am going to decide.
But I am sure it has to be decided by tonight.
Uhg!

We took in my husbands 2 nieces and nephew because they were problems with the parents. The nephew went back to his mom, teh oldest niece decided she didn't like our rules and the youngest who was 10 at the time stayed until she turned 18. She is a wonderful young lady and I would hate to think what would have happened to her had we made a different decision. My prayers are with you. It's never easy to make a decison that may adversly affect your own family.

But I am a believer in sharing anything I have with anyone in need. So, if it isn't money, like if it is time or your house or support I would do it. The other soft spot I have is I would do anything if it involved children. Good luck!
