have you ever wondered what would feel like to not have anywhere to go? Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to not have a place to come in out of the cold? But there's still, have you ever had to consider and ponder about where am I going to spend the night? Such simple but profound questions or hopefully the ones that we will never have to answer. I have the answers to those questions because I know what it feels like to be a person without a home. I know what it feels like to wake up and not want to open my eyes because I don't want to see where I'm waking up. I know what it feels like because I lived it and through the grace of God I don't have to live that lifestyle any longer.
It is truly a sad state of affairs when people need to hide from the police simply because they are sleeping outdoors. There are areas in our country where it is illegal to camp outdoors. A person can be ticketed for not having a place to live or place to sleep at night.don't get me wrong, there are shelters where my folks can come in a cold. Their cold weather shelters and they are only open during the winter months. Many of my folks do not want to stay there because it's too overcrowded and there's that rule that says that they must leave by 6 AM.
I wake up at 6 AM and my house is a little bit cold. I think of my people that are leaving the cold weather shelter. It's cold outside and I think to myself, "what can I do to make a difference?"
