What Can I Do?

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Saturday Afternoon

When I was picking up trash around the block at Mission For All Nations, I saw a man digging through the dumpster. And that started to make me think of stuff I could do to help them. Even simple things like giving them leftovers from a restaurant.

A New Perspective…

Saturday Evening

While helping at the food pantry I was chatting with a volunteer. I asked what group she was with. She gave me a strange look and said, “I’m here for the food, aren’t you?” It was then it hit me, she could have lived in my neighborhood. How many people do I daily interact with that are hungry and hurting and I didn’t notice. God really opened my eyes.

Write down an encounter at a ministry that impacted your life….

When a man at the food pantry, Mission For All Nations, said that I helped him live for another week and all I did was put his food in a car.

This Is Reality

Saturday Afternoon

Seeing a line already formed before our group even arrived at Mission For All Nations (a food pantry) caused me to realize all over again that I wasn’t reading a story about people in need, but seeing it right in front of me. I couldn’t ignore reality.

Welcome to the USA

Saturday Afternoon

I met a family from Iraq at the food pantry, Mission For All Nations, and welcomed them to the U.S.  I got to visit with them and practice my little bit of Arabic.  Who would have thought….
