The day before Thanksgiving a few of us set out to hand out lunch bags out to the homeless in the foggy streets of San Francisco. It took me back to the times that I spent doing ministry help with Dream Center before I moved to Los Angeles. This time it was different. But good. I felt safe I felt like I knew my way around. I felt like I could do that every night. I wanted to hug the homeless. I wanted to sit and eat with them. The homeless people are the most unselfish people I know! We offer socks they reply with "No Thanxs I already have a pair". I would just think about myself and put that into perspective....with my life. "No thanks Jesus I already have enough". I want to say that and mean it just like they did even after I would insist. This is just a piece of everything that I felt that evening. After this successful evening the small group that went out that night loved it!! I will be planning a quarterly night when we will go out again. We passed out 120 bags and socks. Thanks to my friend Kat, Kata, Jason, and myself we made those lunch bags in a fly..we played music and enjoyed preparing them.

A job well done I might say. Great job Karla! I am so amazed at all the lunches, what a lot of work but always rewarding. Jason is lucky to have you (lol).

I'm glad you cleared things up about the 3 layers...I thought maybe I had won the bet and would be an aunt in a few months....just kidding! But really, that would be totally fine by me (as long as I was the favorite aunt or will it be tia?)
