Crisis Ministries

Last night Jon & I went down to Crisis Ministries, our local shelter with our church, Dorchester Presbyterian. We brought dinner as well as food for the next breakfast and served the men's shelter. We fed about 70 men. It was humbling, to say the least. It puts our problems into perspective: no, we may not have everything that we want, but all of our problems are minute compared to what other people are going through. I was able to tour the women & children's side of the shelter as well. I love that there are places to go for people that have no other options but I wish there simply weren't people with these problems. I hate that our entitlement programs through the government are abused. These are the people that need help but we don't have the resources to care for them because there are so many other people that are taking help they don't need. We will surely be going back soon to give more of what we have (time) to people that need us.
