Got Troubles?

Diba Gaye is at risk of eviction after losing his job and spending rent money to pay for the funeral of his wife. 

Diba Gaye lost his wife to Covid-19 in April. He lost his job and is at risk of being evicted in East Harlem, New York. (New York Times 1/2/21)

Do you have troubles? Walk for a day in his shoes. Do the shoes fit?

He is our brother. Yes, we are all related to him. He is a suffering member of our human family.

And he is black. The black members of our family, unfortunately, had to take a different path to adulthood.

That path was not smooth!

Now that he is an unemployed widower a few days from eviction, the path has not become any smoother.

You may ask, “Where is God?”

Oh GOD is still here!

HE sent you and me to smooth paths with HIS love.

Are we up to it?

If not today, when?
