Mike saw a guy walking by that looked very tired. He told him to sit down and have something cold to drink and some food. The man graciously accepted. The man (Willy) explained that he was on his way back from dialysis around the corner and had to walk several more miles home. I told Willy that he would give him a ride home whenever he is ready. Willy and I chit-chatted a little on the way to Willy's house but as we turned on the street where he lived I realized that some previous clients of mine lived on the same block (I work with homeless families after they move into their own places coming out of the shelter). I asked Willy if he knew the family and he smiled and said "that's my brother, that's where I'm staying!". We pulled out to the house and my former client came out, he was surprised to see me. I told him how Willy and I hooked up at our Freedom Celebration. The client told me that he needed some stuff and I took him back to the Freedom Celebration. About 45 minutes later we were pulling back into the driveway of my client's house and he had a whole heap of stuff that his family had really been needing. This just goes to show how mysterious our Father works.
