Carol - who knows what it truly means to love your neighbor.
The story below is all too familiar to the one I experienced in August of 2013 with David and Carol.
Happy ending for man who lost memory, became homeless in Raleigh | abc7news.com
I want to thank Carol, who reunited a man with his family after 15 years.
There are so many similarities between the two stories.
A man homeless for 10+ years.
The use of the internet to search.
Connecting with a sister in law.
The surprise of knowing someone is alive.
Family reunion after many years.
I could go on and on!
The part of this story that says
"As for what made that reunion possible, that's due in large part to not only Shameeka but the very philosophy they have at the outreach center. Catholic Charities encourages all the volunteers who come in from different faith-based groups to not only provide food but to also offer up fellowship and to take the time to talk to the people who are coming there."
is the true meaning of what it means to serve and love your neighbor.
I have seen lives changed not because someone was given food or clothes, but because someone cared enough to begin a friendship with a complete stranger!
Carol you are an inspiration!
Love you!
