Thinking about a smaller, less intimidating step might be helpful. Maybe something like picking up trash as an act service might be easier than starting with the homeless? It is all pleasing to God when done in His love.: )Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05625950990926813867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622029955594375134.post-48884906628525698092012-02-06T21:01:57.606+01:002012-02-06T21:01:57.606+01:00What a fantastic example.

That might be helpful for your children as well at the loaves and fishes morning. Would love to hear how it goes for you and your little ones!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05625950990926813867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622029955594375134.post-27315388650522728952012-02-02T02:40:10.856+01:002012-02-02T02:40:10.856+01:00Loved this post, esp the headband helping with shy...Loved this post, esp the headband helping with shyness, and the involvement of young people with the homeless. Mine are 4 and 6 - I have considered taking them to a loaves and fishes morning at a local church where I used to help before kids. Your post informed in several ways - thank you.Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983091142241005244noreply@blogger.com
