Starting a relationship.
It’s hard to get a job when you have no identification. That’s what I learned tonight as I hung out with two homeless guys, Vince and Stephen. I’m excited to see them next week. Hopefully I will be able to beat them in pool. They seem like good guys who are trying to get their feet on the ground and get a job. It’s tough to see these guys go through hard times when I live a very comfortable life. Despite material, we all share a desire to be loved and be apart of a community. There are things in life that exceed a price tag, like laughing. That’s what I focus on when I hang out with them, to know that they are cared for. Attention and time are just two of the things you cannot buy with money. We all desire that people give us those two things.
