Life is Beautiful
What a sweet night! The students, Leslyn, and I went to "The Lord's Dinner", a hot meal prepared for people in need on the west side of the Springs. It is run by a network of churches on the west side, each one taking turns doing all the logistical and prep work for the night. It is the only hot meal prepared on the west side on Sunday nights. Here are a few of the awesome things I saw and heard tonight.I saw needs being met
Students active in ministry
Students ministering to each other - this one made me cry. One of my younger boys is going through a tough time right now - his sister is being shipped off to Florida in a sucky custody situation. One of my older boys and a solid leader walks up behind him and wraps his arms around the younger boy. The younger boy's eyes closed, he put his hand on the older boy's arms, and they hugged for about 20 seconds. I had to sneak around the corner - it was beautiful.
I saw people with nothing getting excited about revival.
The pastor of the group walks up to me and says, "You've got a good smile. I can tell you know the Lord" (smile has been helped by recent events of course... :-)
I saw homeless people serving each other.
Best one - in a room w/140 people, the happiest and most joyful guy in the room, gets up, starts singing, people around him join in... more tear moments... and the guy is blind. Walking stick and all.
God is good. Sweet. Amazing. Awesome. INCREDIBLE!!!
