Sleeping Out for Jesus Post 4

Hi All

Day two is coming to an end, and God sure blessed me all day!!! The day started great with a surprise wake up visit from my wife Jane. She is Great!! God had all sorts of people dropping by today. If the real Homeless People had as many visitors as I had they would be feeling like a king or queen. My friend Chris stopped by on her way to work, with a cup of coffee an two breakfast burritos form MD. Then a few people passing by stopped an chatted for a few minutes, which was very nice. I found out that not more that a half mile from the church a man is living in the woods. A few of the people passing by offered to get me food or drink, this is a major change from the day before. Then the Friday Morning Prayer Group showed up and held their prayer meeting on the lawn right by my tent, Roseann D come walking down the street with bags from DD. Complete set up a Box of Joe, Cream, sugar, cups, and muffins WOW!. About 1:00 o clock a car pulled up and I really had a surprise, Dr. Dan from Amazon ChroiMed stop by to give this old back and neck an adjustment, "A HOUSE CALL to A HOMELESS Pastor?" Dr Dan and Anita stay for awhile then the went and brought back lunch and sat and ate with me. Italian! Hot food WOW. Kim W and Z showed up with a Cheese Burger and Fries, and coffee from MD's and less then an hour passed and Thom D is walking up with a coffee from DD and Home Made grill cheese sandwiches. So day two of being Homeless, Breakfast, Snacks, Lunch and Supper was delivered to me.

I really loved all of this out pouring of love from friends, But what about the REAL HOMELESS.

This out pouring of love is exactly what Jesus tells us to do for everyone. Not just for some pastor trying to make a statement. What about that man that is living in the woods a half mile away? I wonder when was the last time he got one meal dropped off to him, never mind THREE and SNACKS.

There are 380,000 Protestant Churches in this country with an average attendance of 100 people each week. There are 4 Million Homeless in this country, If each person in each church feed ONE HOMELESS Person for one day there would only be 200,000 HUNGRY HOMELESS PEOPLE in this country.

The Church of Jesus Christ has to but down the things that are dividing us an PICK UP THAT CROSS that unites us. God's plan is very simple, " love Him with all your heart, mind, and soul. and love your neighbor as you love your self" WOW !!!

Shalom
