The weather has turned magic and people are outside and beginning the process of cleaning out the clutter from their homes. Many turn to the Salvation Army with donations. Soup kitchens are showing up with more donations, too. A small room in the back overflows with all matter of things… rugs, lamps, as well as soaps and shampoo and other misc items. And they are all $1 or less to give the needy a chance to spruce up their “home”.

Many homeless eventually get back on their feet and end up getting a home. During the transition period and after many will come to the soup kitchen to eat and look around in the back for things they might need and use in their new quarters.

It’s all working out when we give to a variety of places with our junk that turn into treasures for others… give and receive the join in the gift to others.
