His Hands Ministries, Inc
a
ministry to the homeless of Columbia, SC 

                      

A cold winter Saturday morning ....   in an empty parking lot... 

some volunteers show up..

      a shelter is set up...      boxes of food appear...

            

condiments for the hot dogs...                                           chips, fruit, desserts are spread out... 

hot coffee, refreshing sodas...

the inviting odors of warm food and drink spread out...                

 

suddenly they are there, 

drifting in from the edges

of the parking lot,

coming down the hill,

from around the corner,

 

 

 

 

 

 

                         

          those homeless, hungry men and women                      

 knowing week after week,

they can count on                    

                      the Hotdog Man       

and his crew.

                                     

A dependable warm Saturday lunch

can get a body over the hump

of a long weekend

in a quiet city

empty of the weekday bustle...

 

Sometimes,

you just really know

what the Lord wants you to do.....

              

 

Thank You, God, for the warm food....                           

                                        for the warm smiles,                                       

                                                 for the clean socks.


But Thank You most of all, for letting my hands be His Hands......

 

Make my life an Amen.
