Hey Bloggers,
Still waiting on the pictures from my event so I can share them with you but in the main time, I have something else I'm working on. Its a "Blankets and Pillows" Drive.
Atlanta has been known to experience frigid times during the winter and this year is no exception. While sitting in my car on one of these nights, I complained about the malfunctioning of my vehicle's heater, I then noticed a lady sleeping at the bus stop and wondered what she may be going through. I could visualize her discomfort as she slept in an upright position against a wall.
During Homeless Awareness Week at my school, Kennesaw State University, I participated in sleeping outside for an evening. Due to the freezing temperatures, I gave in during the night and went back to the comforts on my own bed. I could not even make it through the night as a homeless person. I was, and still am, so used to always having a roof over my head, warmth of a duvet and socks! But unfortunately, many people are not afforded this same reassurance.I could go on and on but my point is, even if we cannot eliminate homelessness in America, we can make their situation a little better.I am having a "Blankets and Pillows" Drive and would love for all of you kind-hearted friends to participate. All you have to do is donate either a pillow or a blanket, or both, if you so desire.(Feel free to throw in a pair of socks) It is not much but I am confident that the little things we do for others will be greatly appreciated.
Feel free to inform your friends.
For donations please call Bekky Sowemimo at 678 431 4169 (c) or email at bekkeso@gmail.com
Acts 20:35 (NIV)
"In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' "
So yea.. Thats what I'm working on right now. Hopefully our team will take pictures and I can post them for you all to see.
Stay warm!
