Circle of Trust

I asked the PAX to bring a coat for Homeless Veterans today as the Rotary Club of Naperville is collecting. I shared a quick story of when I recently passed not just a homeless person but a mother with two kids maybe 4 and 8. We often pass homeless people and hopefully we find a way to help them, lend a hand. When you see homeless “kids” man, well…that hit me different.

I tried to go get some money to give to them however by the time I got back to the spot, they were gone. I felt really bad about it however I realized the effort and the care is what matters. We can not solve everyone’s problems in the world all the time however I think the important thing is to care. Great things will happen when you keep caring.

Prayers.
