One year we decided to put together an object lesson for our children. On the day after Thanksgiving, we took the metro into Washington, D.C. We put together some bag lunches in a backpack. Our plan was to hand out these sacks to the homeless. We spent all day in D.C. but never encountered one homeless person. Not one! Later we learned that special shelters are opened to the indigent over the Thanksgiving holiday. Sometimes you must be patient. The Lord, in due time, will provide you with a ministry.
