Thursday 1

I know I missed Wednesday :( I had to work over last night and was a little not feeling well when I got home...I whined a lot and went to bed early. My working over last night was sad. A family that is falling through the cracks and no one is helping them or at least the interventions that are occurring do no see to make a difference. Can you imagine a ten year old who is willing to physically abuse their elderly caregiver to get what they want? I went there being upset at the children but left upset that no one has intervened on the children's behalf to give them options or discipline. I can not talk about the specifics but please keep this family in your prayers. They need enormous interventions if these children are ever to have any kind of normal adulthood.
I read our daily devotion and the first sentence was simply " We are to accept others just like Jesus accepts us". It talked about Zacheus and how Jesus accepted him and went to his house. I am not there yet to accept others as well as Jesus accepts me, but I am trying to wrap my mind around it. I went to a Senior Advocacy Group today and it was awesome to be in a group of people who value and support our seniors...........
