Horrors. As a father of six (living), I can hardly imagine such a thing.
In our case the Lord has offered us the best way to help. You know we have moved out of our big house. We had left most of the furniture there just waiting for the auctioneer to pick it up when the weather broke. The Lord works in mysterious ways. My friend (whose wedding I officiated) is a real estate agent. Ha. She had bought a house and renovated it and was trying to decide what to do with it. Now it is being decorated with donated furniture and all the kitchen, etc "stuff", waiting for the family to move in. It's a beautiful house. She beat me to the offer of a house. Our house needs some work.
