So Many Homeless

Tonight, on my way home from Bible study, I stopped this man to give him fliers for free meals we have at church. It's something I like to do. I will admit that I sort of feel like I know this man. At first I would see him walk down from the Upper Bluff Cathedral Area towards downtown Joliet. He walked proudly and with purpose. At the time, he appeared to have a job. Over time his walk changed~ slower, shoulder slumped. The other day I saw him downtown with his normal bag he's always carried, but this time he also had a bag on a stick, like a hobo. My heart cried to see someone who I knew was a well-educated man reduced to this. Tonight I saw him as I was headed home, so I turned around and went back. I handed him the fliers and the Book of John and asked to join us. It would be such a blessing to look up and see him on a Sunday morning or Wednesday night when we all sit down to eat! Who have you invited to your church?
