Ever heard the phrase, "bring a dish to share." Well, we did it. On Monday we packed lunches to share. But it wasn't for the kids, or mom or dad, or someone we know. No, we packed lunches and served the homeless at Linn Park. An overwhelming majority had never come close to a homeless person, much less fed one.Needless to say, it was quite an "awakening". Perhaps it would be an experience for us all if we could recognize that homeless persons are not statistics; they are real, live persons with the very hurts and needs We are all akin in our brokenness, just as we are all akin to Jesus in his humanity. Perhaps that's why Jesus said, "Whatever you have done for the least of these brothers of mine, you have done unto me."
