a mustard seed page 4 by ric Gustafson
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 ate. He noticed that the Mayor and some other city officials had come. Homer figured that they were about to honor someone.
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 and saw that sad man searching for food in a dumpster". He stared at the plaque as tears welled up in his eyes. " I give God all the glory and knew that it had to be my ministry".
Residents who were eating their lunch stood up and clapped their thanks.
