the lighthouse

seriously blesses my soul everytime i am there.. i am built for that kind of place.. oh, the lighthouse is a homeless shelter that is part of dcm here, that i work in on tuesdays.. but seriously, every week, i get to talk to at least 50-60 guys who are either, homeless, on herione.. or alcoholics.. but as they line up for food, i just get to stand there and welcome them and talk to them.. alot of them would be from romania, poland, latvia, lithuania, bulgaria, slovakia.. in fact, theres very few irish ones.. but its amazing.. just talking to them and getting to be a part of their day and a part of their world, and smiling, and loving and communicating with them on so many different levels.. every time i go there, i dont want to leave.. pray for these guys.. they are trying so hard to break these addictions.. and with kind of a language barrier sometimes, it could seem difficult.. but Jesus is there.. and its seriously just a place i love.. hangin out with homeless guys on drugs.. ah.. it blesses my heart.. thank you Jesus!
