The Elizabeth Coalition for the Homeless sent out another call for our BA Students to care for the young children as their parent(s) attended an evening gathering for the adults. It was a fun-filled night as they shared stories and played games with the "little ones".
Twanda commented, "All the kids were so respectful and polite. I would love to do it again. I am learning so much by going and most importantly, I learned alot about giving back!"
It reminds us of the following prayer of St. Francis,
who was known as a person of peace:
"O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek
grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive...
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive...
... that we are born to Eternal Life."
Amen.
