Helping Handouts

Today marks the first day of our 2018 spring break. Per usual, we are hanging out at home and enjoying some down time. However, I wanted to try to make it a little different this year and do something special with our time. So we will be focusing on serving this year.

Today, we made "helping handouts" for the panhandlers. We talked about what they could use and what would be beneficial to them. I explained that we don't give money because they could choose to buy drugs or alcohol and that would not be helpful for their situation. So, we packed a little bag with a water bottle, some granola bars, a pair of socks, a couple of band-aids and a can of soup.

We drove to a guaranteed homeless man corner and passed our goodies to him through the car window. He thanked the kids generously and they beamed with pride. They all mentioned that we should keep a little something in our car to give and help when we can. Its amazing how willing kids are to serve if we point them in the right direction.

It feels so good to do good.
