Good Morning, God
You know, God, it would be so nice if everyone was as honest, straight-forward and paying their own way as the rest of us! It would be so comforting to know that everyone who comes to our church doors and help agencies really need help and were not just running a scam.
The headlines were about a couple who needed help from our Dubois County Ministerial Fund, Lord, a fund that offerings from our community worship services supply. When procedures were followed and the police check was made, it was discovered that the license plate on the car was stolen. The couple ended up in the county jail rather than being put up for the night at a motel with vouchers for meals and gasoline for the car.
But wait a minute, Lord. If they are in jail, they have a place to stay, one with a good roof over their heads, plus three meals a day. And it is absolutely safe!
Lord, perhaps we shouldn't make light of the plight of transients and the churches' desire to help folks. It's just that we wish that all of us would and could live a whole lot more honestly together - then we would feel more loving and caring toward one another. May it be so, Lord.
In Jesus name, Amen
