Blessings Everywhere

Another blessed nite..

I volunteered - for the second time - in the Lafayette Urban Ministry, the homeless shelter. This time it came as a bit surprise though. I arrived at 9 PM (which means 45 mins late.. :p) and there was no coordinator there, let alone not enough volunteer. This quickly translates to -> the shelter is not gonna open that nite, which further says that 30-40 homeless people are gonna be really homeless that nite.

For about an hour, we tried to get contact with other coordinators, for possibly asking them to be in charge, urgently. It was the nite of the Labor Day weekend, so you can expect not many would be around, except.. Eric. This young and gentle Purdue grad student, whole-heartedly came on a sudden request to stay overnite in and coordinate the shelter. His humbleness and care to these particularly people in need really express God's love to all His children. You should see how those people thanked and blessed him :)

In the morning, there I was, standing at the back of the serving bar, preparing coffee, milk, and cereal on the table. A guy came in through the side door, handing me his bowl and cup, and after I said thank you, he asked, "Do you know Jesus Christ?"
"Yes, I do," I answered undoubtedly and smiled to him.

I did not go further talking to him, although I would love to. But it surely reminds me how unlimited God's love is, not only in time but also in the people. He has been faithful for thousands years and His work is greatly revealed in any people - poor, rich, old, young, .. - as long as they love and trust Him.

Remember, always remember, Jesus loves you, too, so much.

(Specially for my Father in heaven, who loves me truly and walks with me all these years)
