This was recently left in
our Little Free Library that we put out in front of Clare House last July:
"This was by FAR the best idea I have EVER seen, and it completely changed my attitude this evening. I am 27 and have a love for books. I was walking home from the bus, and his caught my eye! Thank you!!

One of our women in the
food line got a new pair of boots from one of our volunteers. She kept saying,
"Happy feet!" "Happy feet!"

A woman walked in today
with 2 boxes of food to donate. I kept looking at her as she was speaking to
Sr. Glenda, trying to place how I knew her. Finally I asked, "How do I
know you?" She looked down and said, "I'm in your food line."
She told us she wanted to give back and so she put a box out at her church and
where she waitresses part-time. I started to cry and so did she, as I thanked
her for asking others to help. Humbling and tender.

I spoke to Mrs.
Kirchner's 4th grade class at Holy Trinity today. They gave up a party to
donate food for the needy. So I brought them cookies & we spoke about the
importance of good works & read James 2, 14. They asked fabulous questions.
February 14, 2013:
A long-bearded homeless
man sat huddled, near the wall of the soup kitchen. Even though his head was
lowered into a book, I could see he was crying. Quietly I sat down in front of
him. "What are you reading?" I asked gently. "The Bible,"
he responded in a whisper, his piercing eyes measuring my face. "What
part?" "The only two words that matter right now...'Jesus wept,' he
said. "Now I know I am not alone."
