We are called to be like Jesus. Yesterday I felt a lot like Jesus. At 7am I was up and headed out to run in the Diana Run which is a run to benefit teens so that they can be blessed and bless others. It was a great time to offer my support to such a great cause. After the Diana Run we headed over to the church to make meals for the homeless. We had 11 students and 8 adults there to help out. It was a great experience for students to see how people less fortunate than them live. We also had an awesome opportunity to talk to a guy who had lost his family to a court battle and is fighting to get them back. We saw 6 kids stuck in a room and couldn't leave because their mom was sick. It broke my heart and the heart of the children. We moved to the non-homeless side of the hotel we were giving food out to and found that they weren't as grateful or willing to accept the food. It was interesting to note that the people who were most in need were the most grateful.
It was definitely a day well spent.
