Faith and Love...Like a Child

We were sitting at a park-n-ride waiting to "exchange" children.  I had 4 kids with me...which included the little boys, Noah, and a friend.  Parked in the back of the park-n-ride towards the woods was a 70's style van with a tarp on top, a shaggy dog, and a "homeless" looking man.  Now, I know from previous discussions that this man lives in his van. 

The kids start asking me about the van and its occupant.  I explain a little and then reply without much thought...."How sad for him.  We should pray for him."  Then, I dismissed the matter.  Noah and his friend continue to ask if they can go talk to the man.  Finally, they get out some cheese sticks and some apples that I had packed for a snack...They decide they would like to take it to the man. 

At this point, I am getting very uncomfortable...I mean, the man looks shady.  I am weak...I can't protect the kids.  I'm not sure this is safe. I start offering excuses to the kids but they are persistent.  My friend arrives (safety in numbers right...I mean together we are 2 tough mommas :)  and we discuss and agree they can take the food to the man....as we watch from a safe distance.

So, Noah and his friend take the food over and talk with the man for a few minutes.  As I watched them walk over, I felt so convicted....THIS IS GOD'S LOVE IN ACTION!!!  Shame on me for trying to squelch His spirit in those two little boys!  Shame on me for not taking the food myself!
