I will ask for some prayers later in this post, but I also need a little advice. You'd think I shouldn't need it but I kinda do.
So, my husband and I really are dirt poor, we are oh so happy and content in life, but we honestly don't have much by way of the material at all.
We have a neighbor who ran short on food last month.
A couple things you need to know about me, I will give anything anyone asks of me when it comes to food, and that is perhaps to a fault, because if it means I'll go hungry I'll still do it.
However in this situation we've been just fine, I've been able to make sure the neighbor ate every day, and it's not taking anything from us in the short term. (I'm super careful with my resources and I'm good at making sure we always have enough, so we still had plenty that could be shared.)
At any rate, two days in a row the neighbor came over when my husband was napping. At the second time day the neighbor came when my husband was sleeping everything changed.
Now my husband has changed his nap schedule and is running interference, making sure said male neighbor isn't talking to me.
Which, I'm perfectly fine with. I'm not at all upset about that - and women's libbers need not comment on this. I happen to think it's a good thing myself.
But I asked my husband yesterday to get some food from the freezer for said neighbor and take it to him, it was just a light suggestion, nothing that out of my mouth was anything more than hey why don't you do this.
But my husband never did bring him any food.
Do I just not worry about it and leave it in my husband's hand alone now? I'm a little worried said neighbor won't have anything to eat today...
So... What should I do? I don't always know how men think. .
Also, I would request prayer for said neighbor. He could use to know Jesus... And have his physical needs met.
