Then vs. Now

What would you do if you lost all your possessions?

I have gone through this one time in my life.  When I was 7 we were away visiting my grandparents and when we came home, someone got into our apartment and literally took everything except for a steel mattress frame because they couldn’t get it apart. I remember church people dropping off items, my maternal great aunt bringing a car load of groceries, and a lady my mom worked for giving us money.  If that happened now, I would pray and lean into family and community again.

    1. I remember how hard it was on my mom. She was a newly single mom as my dad left her and worked hard to provide for my sisters and me. And it was starting all over again for her. But she never complained once and I have carried that lesson with me all these years. I hope this will encourage someone else. Thank you for your kind words. Have a wonderful weekend.
