Update Tuesday-A Blessing Received

Yesterday I got a phone call.  It was unexpected, out of the blue and certainly a surprise.  When I answered the phone it was our friend Paul from our Beer Store Church.  Paul is one of the recyclers we serve each Monday morning.  After being hit by a car a few years ago, he has injuries, including a brain injury, that prevent him from working full time.  Some insurance money helps him to maintain the appartment he was living with his mother in before her passing.  He collects bottles for hours at a time, multiple days a week, walking the streets into the overnight hours to have money enough for groceries.  Yesterday, Paul called to say that he was thinking about the fact that we said our kids where all home sick.  He was so thankful for all that we do for the guys on Monday that he wanted to do something for us.  He was calling to ask if he could make us a meal.  It was a special call, and certainly a blessing received.  I am touched that he would think to serve us in this way, and to use his limited resources to reach out to us.
