It was amazing!!! Each Evangelist of the Good Shepherd Mission picked their poorest men and women to receive a new outfit (saris and dodis). Some men and women were brought in vans while several walked.
One woman arrived early Tuesday morning so she wouldn't be late. Many limped, many used sticks as canes and crutches, many were blind some with cataracts that clouded their eyes. As the lines formed and clothes were passed into their worn hands the people were so grateful.
I could feel God's presence in the room. They couldn't say "thank you" but I knew they meant it by the spark that lit their eyes and their body language of folded hands and bowed heads. One woman even kissed the palm of my hands. My heart broke.
This will be the only clothes most of these people will have for about1 year. Their old one was worn and thread bare. I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve God's people in this way.
Let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. -1 John 3:18 (KJV)
