Today was a return to Long Acre Park. I know I had stated before that I would seek out a new location every day, but my recent schedule is making its twists and turns. In the midst of it all, I did end up finding a good spot in the bleachers of a baseball field to sing.
I am excited because today I got to meet John, one of the city park's caretakers. John is an African American with a family. He works from Spring through October and collects unemployment through the rest of the year. He loves his job and holds onto the hope of being able to be supportive. John is an inspiration because of the smile he shares while he serves the community and makes daily sacrifices for those he loves.
I pray for the strive to make those sacrifices for my family, both of those that I was born into, and for those in the family God blesses me with in the future.
What's your story?
