I have an uncle who has accomodation problem, before my mother died she left a house. one of my brothers offered a room to this my uncle to save him from a bad situation, but my sister refused to allow that to happen simply because my uncle has not been there for us, his sisters children. ithen wonder what she will gain by paying back evil for evil, i sincerely feel we should give the room to my uncle because God ask us to be good to all men most importantly those who have not even done anything to help us, because by doing this we will be known as the children of God. she bluntly refused, we now had afalling out when my uncle was unfortunately evicted and the rain fell on that day he was evicted, he s;ept in and abandoned vehicle, the rain fell on his belongings. and when my sister was told she said she does not care. i was now angry and i have to give her a piece of my mind.
to me i believe family should always be important no matter what.And you may not have anything in this world but if God gives you an opportunity to be good to someone,you really have to make a good use of it. you may not know how you will be repaid back.because God owes no man. you must always try to make others happy no matter what. even if you consider them a pest.My Pastor said that the greatest losser in the bible was that in keeper who refuse the use of his inn for the birth of Jesus. You need to know that just that little space in your bathroom may be a life saver to someone in need.To you it is nothing but to others it is alot. Use every opportunity to do good to someone. you may not know when you are helping an angel. That one room will go a long way in saving my uncle from shame but she refused to do it.Can you be that wicked.

it is true, that churches can only give so much. may be i did not tell you that . no one is using the place, he is my mums immediate little brother though is is old,he is the only living uncle that we have. and according to African culture you must take care of you old ones most importantly when you government fails to make any provision for you.i still feels we can give him a room without lossing anything, since we are not using the house nor are we feeding from the rent.

I hear alot about evil and the Bible, etc..but nothing here about responsibility.
The reason your sister made the choice was based on emotions and , possib;y, her feeling that an uncle should ahve a JOB (or have had one) and be an adult and take care of his finances.
There are homes for thie that cannot help themselves and need a roof over their heads. Do a little research. Is it better for him ot be independent or have assisted living in his own place. or have to live wiht a sister that does not like him? Personalities sometimes clash!
If he has any assets, then get him his OWN room in a different house and let him be independent as much as he can. If not..check wiht the local assisted living program and they have ways to accomodate him.
It is not evil or against God to see a person that you do not trust needs their OWN home or room to live in. Being a "good man/woman" does NOT mean ahvingto care for a person who may be leeching off others and being taken advantage of. Find him his own place and let him learn ot be self-relient..or have assistance.
