So, as many of you know, I come from Los Angeles and now live in Fayetteville Ar. Over the last couple of years we have seen a huge influx of homeless and people on the streets.
Well, my husband and I were doing the normal "if we win the lottery" dreaming and he mentioned something that has now been weighing on my heart pretty heavy. He said that he would want to buy an old hotel or hospital and start a homeless shelter, but not one where people could just come and sleep. They could live there for 3-5 months, get themselves together and get a job, and we would help them get back on their feet and into the world. If they couldnt for some reason get a job, we would put them to work at the shelter. Custodian, maid, cook and things like that, if they were too old or sick, we would figure something out. We would do random drug testing, but once a month everyone would get drug tested. There would be no alcohol. We would shuttle them to doctors and dentists to make sure that they were taken care of properly. We would make sure that at least once a week everyone attended a religious service of some kind, no matter the religion. We would also have one there, so they could attend that one if they wanted to.
We would help them get jobs, get clean, and find a reason to keep going. For some reason, when he mentioned it, it has been on my mind more and more. I want to do this, I want to make this happen and I just dont know how without a LARGE sum of money. I just wish there was a way. I know that God answers prayer, but I dont know if He will answer a prayer to win the lottery, haha. I just wish that we could find a way.
Anyway, Happy Wednesday everyone. We are doing pre-wedding stuff today, after I get off work. I am going to attempt to put false lashes on my sister, hope I can figure that out. My other sister is in town now, so my future brother in law wants us all over for dinner tonight. Fun times. I think he is making Philly Steak stuffed Peppers. He is on Keto as well, so Im sure that there will be keto friendly food to eay. I wish there was going to be chocolate-cherry cake, but i doubt it. lol Have a great one everybody!! (Oh and here is a picture of me from my oldest sisters wedding, that dress was heavy and HOT!!)
