80 year old Homer McGinn was stacking boxes of cans when he heard a noise behind him.
" Homer, are you about done?".
He turned to see Diane Jabro, the director of the homeless shelter, smiling at him. " Just about Mrs Jabro".
After he had finished stacking the boxes of cans, he followed Diane to the area where the residents eat. He noticed that the Mayor and some other city officials had come. Homer figured they were about to honor somebody.
The Mayor picked up a microphone. " Homer, can you come forward?".
In shock, he walked over to where the Mayor stood.
" Homer, in honor of your hard work and dedication to the Cans for the Homeless campaign". He hesitated. " I'm here to present you with this plaque and thanks from myself and the city". He handed the microphone to Homer.
" Since I was a kid, I have wanted to help the homeless". He stared at the plaque and tears welled up in his eyes. " I give God all the glory and I believe that it has been my ministry".
Residents who were eating their lunch stood up and clapped their thanks.
