coin star Christmas


Maybe I should make a Will write for food sign and take my struggle to the streets.

Every Wal-mart I've been to has a coin star machine. I've used one many times. You go around your house and car to find every piece of change you can find. You put it into the coin star machine and it counts it. Takes its share and gives you a voucher to take to a register. You can get your dollars to go buy candy or beer but in my experience I’m buying diapers or food. It’s my money but the coin star machine helps provide for my struggle. Live to fight another day right? I've seen other people use the coin star machine. Seen the embarrassment on their face from having their struggle forced into public. Then passed them in the store spied into their cart to see bottled water, food or something else you know they severely needed.  Makes me wish so bad that I had some extra money to give to help them. Just some money could give them hope. 
when your struggling so bad someone reaching out from behind you in line is divine intervention.
They've obviously brought their life savings to buy some small commodity and what will I do when the diapers run out this time? Next time I take the bottles back. That’s what I did. And I pray for a roof job to fall out of the sky on me.  I can roof a house by myself in a week. Now being a single dad   I pray for a baby sitter as well.  If I looked down and found a twenty dollar bill I would thank God. And since I don’t ever seem to have an extra twenty. I do say a prayer for the people I see with my very same struggle…. Just to survive.


Prayers
