Being a vibrant mission is not just about caring for the homeless in our city, it's about serving our friends who support our ministry. One of the ways we do this is by sharing the wonderful things that are happening in our shelters to encourage and prepare our clients for re-entering society, with obtainable goals for self-sufficiency.
As you read the blogs written by our staff and guest bloggers, your heart will be touched by the stories about life in the shelters and the experiences of the men, women and children living in them. You will find ways to connect that meet your charitable ideals and many opportunities to deepen your involvement with Star of Hope Mission.
THE LONELY MAN
I saw him on the morning drive
Carefully studying him as I went by
This man sitting in the cold
At the intersection of the road
It wasn't his homelessness
I was stirred by his loneliness
His home, a shopping cart
His clothes tattered and torn apart
Not moving not saying a word
Just sitting there near the curb
Staring blankly ahead
As if already dead
A song called him a monument
God showing us evidence
That all is not well in the world
Later on with my little girl
He was still there
Same place, same stare
And my heart sank once more
I wished he had someone to love
