Happy Wednesday!  It's a Wonderful Wednesday here at the Shelter!  We're full with 4 single men, 2 single women and 3 single moms with 6 children.  Anytime you have 6 kids running around laughing, giggling, playing, whining, fighting and having a good time - it's a Wonderful day!  Loud, but wonderful! 

So often we think of the homeless as the man on the side of the freeway with a sign that says, 'Will work for food'.  (I would like to stand behind that man with a sign that says, 'Don't fall for that!') 

Homeless individuals are just like you and me, without housing.  Sure some of them have mental health issues or addiction issues, but many times, they've just gotten themselves in a financial hole with no way out. 

That's why we're here - to help people help themselves!  And, I want the world to know that the 'homeless' are real people, people ranging from the 2 week old newborn to the 83 year old woman sleeping here.  They just have no where else to call home.

So, while our focus is on the program that equips and motivates individuals to change their lives, we can't forget to focus on the people, on the heartbreaks, the joys, the children, the loneliness, the families that call Bethlehem House home.  We couldn't do this without you.  On this Wonderul Wednesday, I'd like to say 'THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"
