God has used me to volunteer in a cafe. Like you, its amazing the people who come in that you can help. God works in mysterious ways if you are willing to hear Him.

This reminder is so powerful. Thank you. ❤️ There is a world of hurt out there and we who have come through great darkness carry an endless torch of light. ❤️ We are not called to do great things but we are called to do a great many things, such as bringing light to a precious soul at the grocery store. This reminds me of a trip to the hospital for a PT/CT Scan four years back. A dear lady, looking tired and weary sat across from me. She had an amputated foot and the leg above was giving her a great deal of pain, amongst other areas. We spoke of our scans, and she shared some of her story. She was sad and feeling that she was useless and had no purpose. Why do you seem so calm, she asked me. I said because we were sitting there together at that moment, I knew that we both still had purpose. Oh the smile on her face. Hope. The Lord knows who needs us, and what we need for sure. 🌻

I needed to see this today. God sent me to the street after my daughter became an addict and homeless. I visit her every week and it's turned into street ministry. God has given me this crazy love for these people. I cry and pray for them every day, and advocate with the city and different agencies for housing and care for those who have serious health issues and families to get back to. It's not what I had planned. But God knows what I neded. I love my street family. My husband recently got a stage 4 cancer diagnosis so I've been home looking after him. Every day I want to make the hour drive to the city but I know I'm needed here. I'm praying that He does great things while I'm gone so He can get the glory! I love your little grocery store ministry. If everyone did just a little bit, the world would be a different place. 🩷
