Well, I sure had an interesting Saturday! I took the group downtown to feed the homeless. We got together at Terra Nova to make bags filled with a sandwich, a juice and a granola bar. In total we made over 60 lunches. It was such a beautiful day! We couldn't have asked for better. I really was hoping and praying that we would be able to find enough people to give sandwiches to! We started by talking about loving and serving others and some ways to approach homeless people. Another YFC worker named Ron was a good help with that because of his years of experiance working with street people. Then we went into a small coffee shop that runs for street people on St. Catherines near Atwater. We talked a bit to those who run it and learned a bit about why they do the work they do. Then we started walking down St. Catherines. We nearly immediately came across a group of street people in a park nearby. One man was talking about his drug addiction, while another asked us what religon we were with. One man we ran across in the late afternoon talked to us for nearly an hour. He was just so, so happy that someone was going to listen to him. His wife had kicked him out due to his excessive drinking. It was an eye opener for these girls. They heard and experienced a bit of what these people had lived. One man, a young man, explained that he found out he has bone cancer. He wasn't drinking or high. Just happy to see a friendly face. He explained how when dealing with this disease, it is easier in the warmer weather. Then he thanked God for the sunshine. We walked away from him silently, feeling compassion for him. When we ended around 4:30, we had been walking for nearly 2.5 hours, but could have easily continued. As tired as they were the girls wanted to give out just a few more sandwiches. Ron took about 10 to give to the homeless in his neighbourhood, and the rest were gone. When walking back to the car we spotted two homeless teenagers. One of the girls stopped and nearly cried. "I wish we had more to give them!" They all agreed they would love to do it again. Besides helping out and learning a bundle, we had a great time together.
