Everything was rolling along fine. Our hosts had brought good food and conversation to the table. Our kids were playing with our guests. In fact our children and our guest's children had a puppet show for some of the adults of the Cobleigh small group. Late last night we had a domestic dispute that ended in one of guest exiting the program and the other being taken to a shelter. Deb Scott handled everything right, she sensed their was a problem called me and we were able to handle the incident in a professional manner. This just highlights for me what a problem domestic violence is. We make it clear to whomever comes to our building that it will be as safe of envioronment as we can make it. When someone violates this trust then we handle the situation peacefully. The other families lost some sleep like I did, as did the Family Promise social worker, Ruben. When I left last night, Deb Scott was at the table with two of our guests praying. In 2 John , the elder speaks that it made him joyful that he saw the children walking in truth. Seeing Deb Scott praying last night brought me joy. The little things make the effort worthwhile. Pray for the family that is in distress today and pray for the two families who are seeking a way out of the poverty/welfare cycle.
go and make a difference today for God,
Buddy
