Today was the first Friday of the new year, which meant there were still some from resolutions that either may or may not have been broken thus far.... which tied in perfectly to tonight's message.
Things went smoothly into the night. Everyone had food in their bellies and for the most part all were able to walk away with what they needed as far as warm clothing or hygiene was concerned. Most people seemed genuinely happy with us being faithful to show up. I often hear from the crowd that our gathering is different from the others they attend. One man tonight thanked me for "being real". He and I agreed that we would make time to sit down with each other and have a discussion.
I am so thankful for the grace that GOD has shown me throughout my life, and even more thankful that He's placed me in a spot to be used to show kindness and love towards the 'unloved' that call the streets of San Diego "home".
