Yesterday was the Motherday Luncheon. It was so exciting to celebrate motherhood with my daughter, my mother and both of my grandmothers. Our guest speaker was from a local Rescue Mission, and spoke about the need locally for us (all of us) to reach out and love others. There are so many homeless, hungry, lonely, hurting....all of whom need someone who loves them.
She really challenged us to jump in and get involved in serving meals, donating time, and even donating things that they can use. She showed a video of personal testimonies of some of our local homeless and it was so heartbreaking. A homeless pregnant teenage girl (who later lost her baby), a homeless man, and on the exciting side a homeless couple for the past 8 years who finally (after help from the mission) purchased their very own house.
Their home was a house, a roof over their head, heat and air, and running water. It makes me thankful for the provisions have given me in my life, as each room has more than enough furniture, and clothes in the closet. This couple may have a home over their head but they slept on the floor, really there was nothing.
I'm hopnig to find ways our family can soon be involved in helping these local homeless.
