This video will explain a lot!

I think this speaks for itself.

Just remember, some days you’re the pig and some days you’re the monkey. Sometimes you just gotta hold on and other times you gotta carry others. Or sometimes you’re just a human… but that’s boring.

Howdy folks!

Last weekend we had a serve day, it was the first one in a long time and will absolutely not be the last. I wanted to tell you a bit about our time!

We went to downtown Santa Ana, near the civic center, and passed out sack lunches. I learned something in those 35 minutes that it took do that. The homeless need food, yes, but more importantly they need their humanity restored. These are men and women and children who are without homes and food… they do not have to be without dignity. When we went out there it took 5 minutes to hand out 100 lunches and 30 minutes to learn that we were doing SO MUCH MORE than feeding their mouths, we got the opportunity to feed their hearts. In turn, our hearts were fed as well. It’s a beautiful thing to have a simple conversation with some one and walk away changed.

I met a man named David. He told me that he doesn’t like to be called homeless, as if it’s his identity. He said that he is without a home and is still human. He thanked us for bringing lunches but said that it’s better that we brought joy. People drop off food and leave all the time but few stay and talk. He asked if next time we might bring music. Maybe some games. Sooo… they just want to be treated like whole people? I can do that.EDL can do that. Calvary Church of Santa Ana can do that… Jesus DID that. The love of Christ was revolutionized for me after speaking with David.Loving some one is not necessarily just about digging deep and meeting their most dire needs. It’s about treating others as lovable. Love transcends circumstance, it doesn’t hone in on it. If I just clothe some one and walk away, yes they are warm but they are not loved. We have to allow our hearts to get involved. I know that it can hurt to see others suffering and sometimes it’s easier to meet the physical need and get out before your heart is affected.But that isn’t what Christ did! He invested, he involved. I want to love like that, I want the people in my life to know that I am invested in them and that my heart is attached to every word I speak.

Our next Reach Day is March 3rd. We are going back and we are going to get our hearts involved. I do hope you’ll come. If you have any ideas about Reach Days or would like to know more about what ideas we have for them then come this Sunday at 8:15 to G101! I am going to be hosting a meeting where we will get some plans and ideas in motion. If you can come early please do! I will bring donuts
