Tuesday, another day in the life of Boston and another day of offering God's love. We have visited a wide range of service agencies the past two days. Some, multiple times, as each team goes to two locations a day. We are 3 teams that crisscross the city and surrounding neighborhoods; all of us working to treat the people that we serve with compassion as well as treating each other with that same compassion.
This evening we were joined by Ron, one of the folks from Boston Immersion. He shared his story of great success that was followed by unfortunate decisions that lead to a life in prison, but through re-examining his decision making process and his faith in God he was able to turn his life in a positive direction. His was a story of redemption. A personal resurrection. He was an inspiration to our group to share our own stories of decisions. Through this we learned more about ourselves and the effects that our own decisions have on others around us.
Tomorrow will bring more challenges to be sure, but also, more chances to engage our First Church Agape.
