A blog dedicated to starting conversations.

See Jesus

Paul Hoyer - Saturday, October 10, 2009

Today I am in Mt. Dora at the Food Pantry and the place is full to overflowing! We are now helping almost 80 families per week. The volunteers here help in any way that they can. They try to find places to stay for those who are homeless and get people signed up for food stamps as well as sending them home with food for three weeks.

As I listen to the conversations this morning I am struck by the appreciation that those who are being helped have for the little bit of food that they receive. They continue to say "thank you" to everyone that they see. I had the opportunity to speak to the group of 25 volunteers as we finished this morning I told them that they have been Jesus to each person that came this morning. We are the arms and hands of Jesus, we give out the love that God has given to us in Jesus. When they see us, they see Jesus.

Why not be Jesus to the people around you today?
