Hope springs eternal. Today's photo from the Mission's main cafeteria.
Some lovely soul forced a bunch of tulip bulbs and blessed us with the blooms. So, today our homeless ladies at the Mission will find fresh flowers at their tables in the Mission's cafeteria.
This simple blessing is another example of our ethic to "treat the poor with dignity." If you show someone that they're important, they begin to believe it themselves. They begin to walk with their heads held a little higher, their shoulders back a little further, eye contact and a smile becomes a part of their countenance. Confidence returns to their bearing.
And they begin to listen to us about our God. A God who loved them so much that He sent His one and only Son to die on the cross, to rise again, to pay the penalty for their sin, and to give them hope for a new life.
Tulips can be powerful, don't you think?
