Home and Family to Those in Need

by Walter
(Melrose MA)

The doors to my home have always been open to a soul in need of a warm and comfortable place to rest. My table always has had room for one more hungry mouth.

For the past 15 years countless guests have called my house their home if only for a night or two. I can not afford to maintain the home any longer and foreclosure is on the horizon.

Please help me lord to find a way to satisfy the debts I am obligated to and keep this house my home. I will always welcome others in need of shelter and never knowingly let anyone go hungry.

I will uphold my rules and lessons teaching the family under my roof at any given time, to have respect for them selves, reverence for you, and tolerance and patience to share with one another.

Lord if I must relinquish my home the sadness that I would endure is unthinkable, if that is your will I pray that I will be strong enough to live through the pain.
