Watching the news world, country and local events can make my heart heavy and aching. I choose to concentrate on the heroic efforts of people helping each other. It comes down to survival and not coveting material things.

We are finding similar effects locally among the homeless community. Some who have been on the streets for 13 or 14 years are able to get the assistance to have housing. Once they have access to housing and a place to cook, they are taking food out to those still on the streets. Part of our ministry is providing them with groceries to provide for the community.

The world of negativity will only increase. Every time I find those examples of humanity I hold onto them and cherish them.
