On Being Grateful

“I really enjoyed doing the street walk on Friday night, to put ourselves in the situation of people who find themselves on the streets- just to see how hard it would be just to find a place to sleep, food to eat, and even clean water to drink.

I also really enjoyed listening to Steve’s story about how he became homeless, and how his life pretty much just got thrown away- but then it was amazing how God worked in his life just so that he could live a “normal” life again.

I think that we learned a lot this weekend. I especially learned that none of us should be complaining that we don’t have enough, because we actually have more than enough. Unlike the people experiencing homelessness, we actually have houses to live in, more than one set of clothes to wear, food to eat, water to drink and lots more. So we should all be very grateful for what God has given to us.

I really hope that we can have another experience like this again sometime.”
