Life Outside the Box

Most of us live in a sphere of influence relatively close to our upbringing. Our view of life is often based on where we have been, what we have seen, and what we have experienced personally. We view the world through the context of our own lives. 

Through the work of Furnishing Families of Texas, our team has expanded our context significantly outside our borders. For instance, most of us were astonished the first time we met children who had never slept in a bed before. It never even occurred to us that there wasn't a bed for every person. Very few of us were acquainted with families living in apartments without furnishings and food. And likewise, it was outside our ability to comprehend that a significant retail store would give away hundreds of mattresses for free. 

The Kingdom of God gives us the unique ability to see others through eyes that know all and see all. At Furnishing Families of Texas, we can step outside our physical boundaries and show the grace of God through furnishings, food, and clothing. We have the privilege of giving a child their very first bed, stocking an empty kitchen with dishes and silverware, and turning a shelter into a home for a family in need. Thank you for making this possible.
