"Patiently Waiting For The Season To Begin" #iphoneography

Sent from my iPhone

I love this pic, but I have to tell you why...

These are the clients who are staying at The Living Room, a city run shelter in Hunts Point that's arranged like a cafeteria, with no beds or any privacy, simply tables and chairs. They're allowed to stay there but just imagine having to sleep sitting up in a chair? Don't close your eyes too long lest your belongings get stolen by another client. But these clients are making their way outside to the street where hot soup, sandwiches and other basic needs are waiting for them. I like to think of it as "divine resources coming into contact with human need". Most importantly, love is expressed in the human touch. Manna has a reputation of making good soup. Not homeless soup. That kind has no flavor. But love soup filled with care, attention and tremendous flavor. I know this pic is out of focus. But I had to react quick since you're not really supposed to photograph clients. Shhhhh.

 

Stackables.

We see art like this along the way. Too cool.

Have you ever seen this tattoo? Too cool. I'm considering it for myself.

Manna signs on the DL. Not to be confused with Masonic signs and Jay Z.

 



Help her with her call. She has weekend minutes free, thanks to Manna.

 



Ministering love.
