Least of these

Dad, you would have been so proud.
3 colors.
40 unique Easter eggs.

 As much as I like showing off my handiwork the point of this post is to let you know that the team (Mandy mostly) has arranged Easter parties for two groups of street kids.

You know how Jesus said he came for the lost and the hurting? (Luke 19:10) Well, these kids are it. Some have run away from terrible abuse and neglect. For them, living on the street, eating trash, sleeping in the dirt, is better than home. Some have been dumped in at the bus park with no way to find their way back. Some have wrecked their brains sniffing glue to try to cover up their hunger. Most have little hope. All need Easter. 

As I was thinking about writing this blog I was going to ask you to pray that we could be Jesus to these guys.  But as I think that through, please don't pray that. Jesus offered this. 

I don't offer anything that comes remotely close. We want to do the best we can for the least of these but at the end of the day we pack up and it is Jesus that remains. Will you pray for that? That these kids really understand and that Jesus meets their deepest needs in a way that we can't even begin to?
