We now feel like true southerners, Atlanta is our home. Our reflections this week have been about what
challenges a person can have, to live what could be considered a normal life. We all take what we have for granted, not even realizing the comforts we enjoy. Today took us from the farm to the table. One of our groups served lunch to people struggling with homelessness. Fishes and Loaves is a program run at St. John, The Wonder Worker, Christian Orthodox Church. Another one of our groups visited Action Ministries, today being a special Birthday Lunch for the ladies. Our third group worked at the Berea Mennonite Farms, planting, weeding and moving a large gravel pile. More visits are planned for later in the week for all these generous ministries.
As we continue our mission to serve and reflect we try to understand how a person can become lost.
We try to put ourselves in their situations, we learn that we all, us and new found friends, have basic needs of shelter and nourishment. Basic needs of compassion, kindness and respect.
