"Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay."
That was a real eye-opener for me and it got me to wondering just how many folks there are in my life who would actually allow me to stay in their homes (for a brief time, of course.)
I wondered because my current situation may lead me to that come January 1st. I honestly don't know how I am going to pay my rent which means that I will have to move. Move where? I have no idea. I don't even know where all of my stuff is supposed to go. Until I get a job (which I am diligently seeking DAILY), I won't be able to get a new place.
I know that I would be an exceptional "visitor." I would be sure to be up and out EARLY (probably to the nearest library) where I could continue my job search, and would only return in the evening to shower and sleep. Repeating the same routine the next day.
I wouldn't even eat any food where I'm staying because I don't want to be any more of a burden than I already would be by showering and sleeping there. I would make my presence known as little as possible.
I pray that it doesn't come down to all that, but just in case...it's really got me wondering. Who, if anyone, would open their doors to me?
Most folks would agree that I am a fairly decent person. Unfortunately, I just happen to be at a stage in my life where everything has unraveled. I know that eventually things will be nicely tied together again...it's just gonna take me a little more time. I'm trying though. Lord knows I'm trying.
So...Let the DIALOGUE begin: Have you ever let someone (non-relative) stay in your home until they were able to get back on their feet?
Talk to me!
Til next time...
