This Makes Me Mad

I headed to Bible Study tonight, and stayed for the dinner afterwards, I also took three bags of clothes and canned goods for those who needed them! I’m slowly going through closets, I must say I’m proud of how easily Little Miss is willing to give up things knowing they are going to help those in need, and once the closet is cleaned out, we will make another run to the clearance rack at Kohl’s Lol! She grows so quickly I can barely keep up but this isn’t about that! I went into the restroom during Bible Study to find this on the bathroom mirror and it made me mad, because these were the drapes that were loaned to the Church for Holy Week and someone stole them, our church does so much to help others this really hurt my heart and upset me, if someone needed something all they had to do was ask not take what was clearly marked for Holy Week, we feed those in need, our church is very active in giving, this little church in the space of one weekend raised nearly 10 k for Camp Fire victims, every Monday Night Faith Hall is opened for Bible Study, and for dinner, clothes are given, showers are offered, things we do easily take for granted so when someone does something like this it hurts! Our church has been part of our community since 1854, so we have history here, some of the furniture survived the original church building that sadly burned around 1950, the current building is a replica of that, with The Faith Hall being added on!

People, sometimes... I mean, why? Even the drapes? What kind of people would do that? I would gladly give drapes and curtains to people in need or get something else for them. I was thinking, if I were in a bad situation and those drapes would be useful for me, I wouldn't touch them. No way.

@Michellekidwell exactly! A little respect wouldn't hurt and come on, we are talking about drapes! They have little value, why steal them?

If they needed drapes, I'm sure someone would have g!as my brought some, but to take the ones that were to be draped over the cross was just wrong!

I'm sorry someone stole from your church, the enemy works hardest during Holy Week and Sundays it seems. I hope they are returned with the prompting from the Holy Spirit.

No one really needed those drapes probably. I hope they return them soon.

Hopefully who ever stole the drapes will heed their conscience & return them. Very sad that they'd steal them to begin w/though.

Yes it is, our Church will hope those in need but please don’t steal stuff that is clearly marked for the Church! They were meant to drape over the cross!
