Today our Church went to a homeless shelter to feed 500 men, woman and children. I had the great privilege to be one of the workers serving the food. I pulled Brittany out of school (she’s been asking if we can go serve food to the homeless for quite some time!) and Marissa came too.
It was an experience and being able to see the love and faith the people had was amazing! We were able to meet the founder, she blew us away, it seemed like meeting a celebrity! We had just watched a video of her mission to serve the homeless. She is an amazing woman!!
After we served the food, helped clean up and eat ourselves we were taking on a tour of the complex. They have built apartments, a teen center, a (younger) youth center, onsite medical and dental clinics, a generous food shelf, shower facility, clothes and new shoes! Along with all that this woman teaches the word of God, prays with each and every one of them and gives out money to pay for rent or bus tokens!
Today opened my eyes! I don’t know what God has intended for me, but something stirred inside of me and wants to do good.
Marissa and I will be stocking our local food shelf every Thursday for the month of January. This is a small part I can do, I pray for God to guide myself towards the correct path to help the needs of others.
For some reason I’m not able to upload photos, but on one of the walls in the teen center there is a beautiful drawing…two hands holding out to one another with the saying. “What you are is God's gift to you, what you become is your gift to God.”
