First of all this is not for our glory but for Gods glory. I really felt led to post this.
God brought the lady out of the tent after being there for over a year, gave her an apartment, sobered her up, cleaned, clothed and fed her and then He said ” Take the lady shopping.”
Jack and Mary Ellen Byrd went with me today to take the lady to Walmart and get her some personal and household things. As we started I asked her “What do you need sweetie?” She didn’t ask for beer, wine or cigarettes…she asked “Can I have a dish drainer?” In a world were we get caught up in having anything we want at our finger tips we forget how much a little thing such as a dish drainer can mean to someone who has nothing. I pray that God will give her a dishwasher!
We thank God for bringing people together from many communities, denominations and all walks of life to make this Homeless Project a huge success, showing the love of Christ in a real and true way to a hurting and lonely world.
For God said in Matthew 25:35-36 ” For I was hungry, and ye gave Me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink: I was a stranger and ye took Me in. Naked and ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me. I was in prison, and ye came unto Me.” and He went on to say “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.”
God bless you all and God bless these precious homeless people.
