Real Beauty

Today at work, a member of the church called to say she was bringing in some socks and things for the men we host on Tuesday nights for Room in the Inn. (Room in the Inn is an outreach program of Campus for Human Development, which helps the homeless in the winter to feed them, give them a warm place to sleep, a place to shower, etc.) She and her son came in with their "socks and things":

• 12 men's coats
• 14 women's coats
• 9 women's sweaters
• 15 pairs of adult gloves
• 1 pair of children's gloves
• 36 men's undershirts
• 18 pairs of men's underwear
• 24 children's jackets and sweatshirts
• 18 pairs of women's socks

These were all new and from Costco. She clearly bought every coat they had left. She even insisted we call her if we need more! Amazing. This is the kind of person who redeems the greedy/selfish qualities of others who have so much but give so little.
