Hey guys so sorry I haven't been posting! I promise I have a heart that isn't neglecting it on purpose! I'm so glad this is revving up again. Good job Albert.
So I guess it was the clothing drive for us last week but I forgot the name of the guy but I remember this one tall guy who was selecting clothes and without us even having to tell him to pick a maximum of two items he himself put it out there that he will only select one or two because according to what I think he said, "I have feelings too." He had empathy and compassion for others like him who would come after him and who would need clothes too. And then I thought to myself whether I would do that in the same situation, and whether many others who work in the upper echelon of society would too. It reminded me once again how homeless people are in many ways "better" than people who aren't. It also reminded me that according to God's command, we ought to consider everyone else better than ourselves. This isn't to deny reality by saying that a Kindergartener is better than us at math or reading but rather that there is something to look up to and respect in anyone however bad or messed-up they may be in other aspects. I know this sounds like Confucianism but it's true nonetheless.
