Wintery Night

     Awesome night on the streets....So humbling....handed out lots of blankets hygiene kits  with dry socks and sweaters ...There is a great need for clothing for the men..ie.. jeans sizes 34,36,38,40 and up.... ,hoodie sweatshirts.
     Right before we left a friend ask for a pair of socks, I thought I had another kit and no surprise we had given them all away. I said to him I am so sorry all I have is a pair of pink fuzzy socks...his reply brought tears to my eyes ..he said," are they dry" I said, "yes" he said," then I will take them, no one will see them and my feet will be dry." Then he shared with us how he has a job he will start and in his words...its the highest paying job I have ever had....God is good.
     Amber and I went up to visit with the women and meet a lady with 4 children who has found herself in the middle of a transition period aka a divorce... I gave her a number to call to get herself and children into a better place. Please pray she makes the call.... because while she is in out of the weather...all the women have is a few chairs they can put together to form  a bed. Makes us appreciate what we have even more.
    Finally, we would like to thank all of you for your prayers for our safety and for all the donations that you have made over the past few years. Without your love and support we would not be able to do what we do. Have a blessed weekend.
