Blessings Come in Many Forms
Our blessings come in many forms.
Recently we received a $2400 donation from long time supporters who donated their stimulus checks to us.
Today, one of our homeless clients donated $100 of his check to us.
I am often surprised by the gifts we receive every day from those who have the least to give. We have folks who…
- help clean up the property,
- who donate masks,
- who help other homeless with rides,
- give clothes,
- or share meager supplies.
I have started my second year in this position, and am still struggling with the same questions I had the first week here.
Where do I sleep, where do I put my stuff and where can I use a bathroom.
Have you ever had to ask to use a bathroom without a purchase? Try doing it looking like you slept in your clothes. Homelessness is messy. You have nothing. A basic bodily function becomes a crisis at the least convenient time.
Store owners, try showing a bit of compassion regarding these folks. Many of these folks are mentally ill, but I have yet to encounter one who is dangerous.
Fair treatment is returned with gratitude.
I love the title of your content, and it is true! Blessings come in many forms, yet it depends on people. If we see things on the bright side, we see how lucky we are even if we face problems.
I love to read this again. It makes me relax and gives me positivity. Thanks a lot!
