Hey - wanted to update you on More than more's Community Outreach from 10-28. We spent a fantastic day at McAllister Center (which is where we get together every other Thursday, 6:45-8:00PM)! We gave away hundreds of pairs of shoes and free medical care and prescriptions on that day. It was a wonderful thing to be able to share all that we have been blessed with with other people! I even got 3 hugs from one lady!
The great thing was sharing how much what is happening in our lives has made us care about what happens to others around us - we dared to really notice them - to see them - to see their smiles at new shoes and to see their cold feet (flip flops on that 30 degree morning was just not right and neither is babies whose mom's can't afford shoes and so are barefooted!).
We dared to look way past what society may say about them to what the One who made them would say - that they are wonderful and beautiful and meaningful and amazing!!!
That was the life-changing part of that day - the noticing of the people and the giving of love and acceptance to them - for no other reason than that we have this love in our hearts that needs to be shared!!!
You see, the More than more way of living, daring to go past the usual American way, opens up life - God begins to change the way we think and act and almost before we evev realize it, we are putting on orange shirts and giving out all the love we can, because it seems to ooze from us!
This is the kind of life we are learning! We hope that you will consider joining us next time we get together - 11/18/2010 6:45-8:00PM at McAllister Recreation Center - just off 20th and Schuyler Ave, Lafayette - all are welcome...
