"NOBODY CAN DO
EVERYTHING BUT
EVERYBODY CAN DO SOMETHING"
Thank you to our dedicated awesome S.H.A.R.E. Ministry Leaders, Azalie, Yolanda and Kirlin for their compassion, love, commitment in serving our guests each Saturday over the years. Their works show through how they serve and create an atmosphere in which the volunteers are comfortable in reaching out to our guests and the guests feel the dignity, respect and love that is dished up and served them each week.
We have youth who come to serve because their school requires them to do give back through service hours. Many of them once their hours are completed return" I like the way I feel when I serve" is what some of them say. Volunteer Flora and her daughters Tanya and Rosie have come to serve each Saturday and participated in our projects for over a year, Concepcion has brought her grand daughter to serve at her side for months, Lilly and her daughter Smira have joined us since November to serve. This week Berta and her friend came and brought her children Emily and Ben to serve along side of them. Joe Petersen made the lunches for the youngest guests and had his mom Ann delivered them to us. These children are being shown through the works of their parents, grandparents of what it is to give back and pass on blessings. Natalie bless her heart comes with loads of treasures that she has gathered up in her travels during the week for our guests. Mr Rincon get's up before dawn to go to get the produce and flowers, Santos spends his Saturday afternoons giving back and being refueled by the kindness that he gives away. The S.H.A.R.E. Ministry is humbly grateful to God for His sending of these saints to bless and assist us with our efforts to make/be the difference in a life in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Today think about asking God to give you the comfort and support for your daily journey in your effort at becoming more aware and sensitive to the needs of others. In fulfilling this daily need ask that this need be kept between God and you, that you refrain from the need to boast or approach the person you have done the kindness for with "you knows or I gave you that how does it fit or how do you like it or use/spend it on this". If this is the need that comes with the kindness then perhaps there is a need to ask for God's guidance in reaching out in kindness. For some of our guests during the gift giving at the dinner it was difficult because they reported being approached by good intended donors reminding them that they gave the whatever. For some parents when their children were approached it was really difficult some said. The parents apparently prepared the children who found no gifts at home on Christmas morning that Santa left them in the hall for them and..
Have a God filled and blessed journey this week.
Blessings,
The S.H.A.R.E. Ministry
