What I have learned from one week with homeless veterans

Just for your own edification, the homeless person, or recovering alcoholic/addict, or disabled individual you may stare at with disdain or judgment at some level — this “no body” really is somebody. Just so you know, this person you probably don’t think much of, probably has seen some things that would keep you or I awake for months or years. In case you’re wondering, this object of pity has a wealth of insight and wisdom from experience that could never been gained from books or an accredited university. And, should you desire to take a glimpse into both beauty and suffering, listen to their story. Hear the strength. Feel the resilience. Witness grace and love.

Come face to face with a people who know … and even so, and in spite of it all, they look up and keep the faith.
