The Faces of Homelessness
“I will not leave you orphaned.”
--A promise from the Holy One to us
This week I’ve attempted to present some different faces of homelessness. I hope you’ve been able to see some of the manifestations of homelessness that cause us to have such a lonely and fearful society. Maybe you can identify some additional faces of homelessness. I’d like to hear from you about this subject.
As we move through November on our way to the Thanksgiving holiday, I’d encourage you to name the blessings that come your way. I’d encourage you to claim the ways that you feel homeless. And I’d encourage you to explore the possible ways that you both give and receive comfort for those times when “home” seems so very far away.
Have a good weekend. Remember the promise of the Holy One. Embrace another and allow their warm embrace to feel a bit more “at home” on your travels through the tough times of life. Rather than fleeing in fear, run toward your tough time and get acquainted!
