Winnipeg Winter

My 16 year old Neice wants to spend her summer holidays working for me as a missionary at Regina Rescue Mission. Recently she joined her youth group in Winnipeg to distibute hot chocolate to the homeless on the streets.

Her peers and youth leaders were surprised at how uninhibited this normally shy pastor's daughter was in offering a cup of hot chocolate in Jesus' name.

As she stooped down to put the steaming cup into one old woman's hands, she noticed them chilled to the bone and gloveless. Without a second thought, she removed her mittens, and placed them into the hands of this homeless woman.

Her group leaders told Mom, who informed them that these mitts were pretty special to her, having just received them as a Christmas gift with a matching touque from her boy friend, Wade.

I think she's gonna fit in just fine here.

I'm proud of you, Andy!
