This week, I think God sent us all a little reminder about our scripture lesson from last Sunday through an encounter we had here at church, with a houseless neighbor.

I hesitated a bit to write this, because to write about every good deed can start to feel like false-humble bragging; and also because we should never sugarcoat the true challenge of assisting houseless neighbors. As I’ve told you before about our ministry in subfreezing temps, for every example of “success,” there are many times when you feel helpless to do anything positive.

But this week a little hopeful moment unfolded, and gave me a message that stuck with me that I think God wants me to share with you.

I think God speaks to us through little events that happen.
And if we’re listening closely to life events, our opportunities to help others leap out in front of us.

Tuesday afternoon, I was working in the office, when Oscar Brown stopped by to let me know the Day School Staff and parents were reporting a houseless neighbor, passed out on our playground.
