Unite 4 Christ visits Marietta’s Homeless
January 9 at 9:15pm
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. (Matthew 25:35-36)
Today my wife and I had the experience of going out in Marietta and feeding the homeless. This was such an eye opener for both of us. As I walked down the railroad tracks looking for a place they call tent city I had no idea what to expect. I thought to myself will they try and run me off, will they think I was there to mess with them, would they would be angry at me for intruding on them, or would they be afraid to talk to me. As I got closer I saw an area full of tents all of different colors. I walked down the hill and introduced myself to them and we talked for a few minutes. I told them my purpose in coming today was to bless them with some food and clothing. They were all very nice and grateful for everything. What a feeling to be able to be a blessing to others! God is good all the time!
