A Way to Re-Home the Homeless

It’s a miracle! Well, a miracle message. That’s what the non-profit is called because that’s what they deliver. They’re partnering with cities to get these messages out. The organization makes videos of a homeless person and uses it to try to find family who have lost contact with them. The videos have been successful in reuniting people and getting them off the streets and back home.

Read about this organization, what they do, and the success story of Wayne and his niece Jasmine.

Miracle: Just a Reach Away

Miracles do happen.  Sometimes they’re big, sometimes they’re little.  I just witnessed one that had a huge impact on the life of a man I know.

He went through a bitter divorce 40+ years ago, and the unfortunate happened: his ex-wife preferred that he have no contact with his two children. Some years back, the adult son sent him a note, inviting his dad to contact him and get to know him, his wife, and his child.  Miracle #1.  But the son didn’t tell his sister, who, along with their mom, had no warm and fuzzy thoughts about the dad.  A few days ago, for some reason, that changed.  Brother told sister, and together they called their father.  It had been 27 years since father and daughter talked, and a new relationship is building.  All it took was one person’s reaching out to another, willing to accept what they find.

Soap-opera-ish?  Maybe.  Then again, you didn’t see the tears in the father’s eyes.  And you probably don’t believe in everyday miracles….Too bad.
