They are finding their way and it is a hard haul. The difficulty is helping one who cannot accept they need help. Sometimes we can only offer prayer, hold them with open hands, trusting that God loves them more than we could imagine and is working out his purpose. Hugs and prayers back your way.Joyce E.

I've been reading your blog now and ...Hi Joyce. I've been reading your blog now and then (you are a great writer, btw!) and this post had me thinking. My 20 yo son is struggling with depression (I think) and many of your thoughts have been my own. I see homeless people totally differently now, since I know that all of us are only a step or two away from being there. I pray for wisdom for how to help my son (he just doesn't seem to want it) , while at the same time part of me just wants to ignore it when it hurts too much. I want to be a 'dispenser of hope', but wonder how. Love and prayers to you.
