My own particular "team" is going every Friday afternoon, NOON-4:00 pm
Come join us. We need numbers.
We think one of the staff may be on the verge of quitting, so we need PRAY-ers.
From my experience...
Standing on the street with a cold wind blowing, did not seem to be anything happening in the blue building, feeling a bit sorry for myself, wanting to get warm.
Then
A dark haired young woman approached me from the convenience store parking lot. I said, “Hello.” She spoke not a word, but extended a hand to shake. She silently looked into my eyes, then handed me a note.
“24 years ago my mother went to a place like this because she thought she was too young and she couldn’t financially take care of me. She saw people like you and stated crying and drove away. 9 months later, she had me. I want to thank you all for what you do and what you stand for. Because of people like you, I’m alive. 2 weeks ago I saved a 3 year old from getting hit by a truck. If I hadn’t pulled him away he would have died. So in a way people like you saved his life too. Keep it up. Pass it along. God bless you all and God bless America.”
Suddenly, I did not feel the cold.
Wish I could be there for support, but unfortunately I am in Oregon for a while.
