May I just say, thank you for your kind attitude towards those in such situations, and recognizing that it isn't always their fault. Not everyone does, and it is heartbreaking to see the hate that is sometimes directed at people with nowhere to go. Yes, some are homeless through choice, but usually that is linked to mental illness or drug abuse, which truly changes people's brains. Sometimes people also don't know that there are services to help them to get back on their feet for a reason, and that there are people who care about them. Personally, I feel that the best way to help people isn't just to give them money. That doesn't always solve the problem. Instead, I think the best way to help is to alert them to services that are available to help them, if they choose to seek them out. I have a family member that works in Social Services, and I can vouch that there are people who work there because that's what they love to do and they want to help people. And, the pay is not great at such jobs, so often people working there need a second job. That proves to me that they work there because they love it.My next rant:
Some homeless people have been using my church as a sleeping shelter outside of the buildings in the bushes, under the awnings. Some make a mess and others don’t. My responsibility is to keep the yards clean cut, the trash removed, bushes trimmed clean, and the junk left behind by the homeless removed. Now, I don’t know about you, but when I find a homeless man not alive anymore in his car parked on my church lot, I start to think about homeless, and drug use, I get a defensive attitude towards them. That church is my responsibility, my part time job is still important to me. Anyone who rolls the losing dice, have a situation, and can’t help themselves, can be homeless. I understand that
Every time I show up, I give them 15 minutes to collect their belongings and leave the property. Then I pray for them and then I start my three hour work. And I work hard to make the yards and flora look nice.
Rant about over,but I’m pretty sure I missed something.
