A Dollar For Kindness

Along with the dollar that was given to me, a large donation from a non-believing prostitute in California, and considerable benevolence from the body at Hannaford, the newly formed "Feed the Homeless" ministry was able to provide lunch to the boarders at God's Love Shelter on Sunday, October 19th.

With 7 gracious sets of hands and feet, we were able to assemble 82 sack lunches within the hour between first and second service. Pretty darn well for the first effort, I think. Imagine what we can do when we get into a groove. Then, after second service we loaded the lunches and bottled water into the church van and we drove them to God's Love Shelter where we and some kind gentlemen from the shelter helped us unload the van.

There were not many folks around at the moment (about noon) as it was a very nice day outside and who likes being holed up in the house when you don't have to be. Anyway, we were greeted warmly, and we started handing out the lunches and water saying, "Courtesy of Jesus Christ" with every lunch.

The faces of those being blessed varied between grief and hope. This action cannot leave you untouched in your heart. We were able to have some very nice and interesting conversations with some of the boarders. I am certainly encouraged to continue to start a Bible study there.

Anyway, we left the remainder of lunches and water (about 40) for folks to pick up when they finally came in from where ever they were traveling. I just want to thank everyone for their hands and feet and for the prayers from the folks who could not be there for the event. Let the Holy Spirit guide you. God blesses you all.
