I couldn’t believe my eyes!

On the way out to drop the kids off at their cousins this morning, this is what we came across, parked outside the the mosque.

At first we giggled and then I turned the car around to have a better look and to take some photo’s, I was thinking that this would make a brilliant post. I got back in the car and looked closer at the car and was felt utterly ashamed of myself and knew that if my mum was with me she would have skelped my *rs*.

Who ever this person was had literally strapped their entire belongings to the car and left it outside the mosque in hope ( I think) that no one would steal anything. It had me thinking, had the man of the home lost his job and had they been evicted? Where they now living in the mosque? Would he get another job? Would they find somewhere else to live? What if he got in to an accident driving like that, what would happen to his family then? Can you see the baby walker? there was a bouncy chair as well! I could never imagine being in these people’s shoes.

I dropped the kids off and went back, to see if I could find the man and give him some help but the car was gone.

I showed the picture to a friend later and she suggested that they may have been moving to a new home. Perhaps they were, but I will still count my blessings tonight because I am lucky enough to be able to afford to hire a man with a van to move my stuff without endangering my life.

I hope tonight that they are in their new home and if not I pray that they have somewhere cool and comfortable to stay for the night.

Seeing things like this helps put things in to perspective, especially with Ramadan looming.

Good Night.
