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.
"Finally, all of you should be of one mind, full of kindness toward each other, loving one another with tender hearts and humble minds" 1 Peter 3:8 NLT
What a wonderful thought Peter has! When my family and I started serving at Star of Hope I knew it would be good for everyone involved, but I never imagined it would be such a blessing in all our lives. An attitude of kindness starts in the heart and works its way out from there. Not only do we need food, shelter and clothing, but we all need love, kindness, and respect too.
We started serving at Star of Hope this past summer and have done "Cookies and Goodnight" as well as the "Back to School Bash." We feel blessed to have been given the chance to serve and meet such wonderful people. To teach our little ones to give without thinking, love without questioning, and pray with thanksgiving is one of the most important lessons we can teach.
We will continue to serve our friends at Star of Hope and pray that there will be many others who offer their time, energy and resources to help make our world better a little at a time!
With Love and Prayers,
Jessy
