“If I give all my possessions to feed the poor…But have no Love I am nothing”
This woman was sitting on a bench as I was driving to the boiler room tonight. I saw her..at the park alone. Its gloomy outside. I get out of my car and walk over…thinking this might not be a good idea but there is something about her.
I say hi, ask to sit. Her son watching the boys play BBall at the boiler room, the new basket ball hoop we just got donated. Her husband is at home, they lived in Grand Rapids for 8 years. Blue eyes…She knows about the boiler room…I wonder if she has friends, who this husband is and why her son is intently watching the guys play BBall but doesn’t want to go over there. There is nothing else I can do but tell her to come by sometime if she wants. Its fun. Bright blue eyes…broken. I wait, God told me I did what he wanted. So I went back, hoping to see her again.
“Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat”—Mother Teresa
2) God blessed me today! To hang out with Marie and to feel sooo loved…We had a fun filled day. When I left for work and when I came back…I got a hug with…“You left and didn’t tell me!” I will leave her a note the next time I leave and she is sleeping.
3) God is teaching me so much. I am so blessed to be in this community.
In Chelsea’s words, this is God’s way.
