God bless this security guard. This is worth more than tithe offerings and ashes on the forehead.
That was very nice of Officer Webster to do that. Sometimes it takes someone familiar with a certain type of suffering to see it in others. I’m somewhat surprised the Dad allowed his name, his picture and his sons to be published, but perhaps being discreet was of low priority right now.
The main thing is to get a roof over their heads. Bedsides, many folks of his under 40 generation do not really expect full privacy. They already describe their lives fully while on Facebook.
All things said, it would behoove the Officer to lock up the any alcohol, money box , homeowners’ deed and gun closets during this charitable gesture.
God bless this security guard. I hope this works out.
Good story, thanks for posting.
Jesus separates the sheep from the goats based on how we treat the least of these. Heaven and hell right there.
Matt 25 prophey judgment of the Lord Jesus Christ.
“When were you homeless Lord? “
When I was single I did a lot of this. My parents did this constantly. It used to be extremely common among Evangelicals, Baptists, Church of God in Christ, Pentecostals, Mennonites, Amish to do this both in the church structure and outside the church structure. Not so much with mainline UCC/UMC/Lutheran/Episcopalian.
I did a study on this back in ‘64 (actually a study on the paths to upward mobility in the inner city of Chicago).
How prevalent is this now? I have not seen any papers on this in a long, long time.
