It’s cold outside in Winnipeg today. It is something like minus 30 degrees outside. Did I say that it’s cold???? It’s really cold! It is no wonder that today’s box is holding up ministries, missions, and programs that try to help people in the cold.
The inspiration is Luke 1:52
God has brought down the powerful from their thrones and lifted up the lowly.
The box needed a little assembly today, the poles needed to be taped in place so that the signs would be lifted up. The signs celebrate 1Hope Winnipeg, the Ladybug Foundation, Winnipeg Harvest, Koats for Kids and more. People helping people needed to be lifted up. These are stories that need to be told. These are images that must find a place in our hearts. These are the connections to people who live in the cold. These are the ways in which we must help change the experience of our brothers and sisters in this earth. We are called to help to lift up those in need.
We can make a difference. We can live in hope and peace.
