There's typically a guy down on Rhode Island Ave. near Georgia Ave intersection. And a lot of times a homeless man on Foxhall Rd. in NW DC near the gas station. Where Foxhall and Canal Rd. meet. Honestly though, I see less homeless people during the day than in the evening. I think they are nocturnal. <br /><br />Great Idea!Leighannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15512788357302027665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281333125458134262.post-54957020848520943172010-11-03T21:50:57.630-04:002010-11-03T21:50:57.630-04:00I think it is great you took the kids downtown to ...I think it is great you took the kids downtown to give away food. What a great experience for them, even if you came home with a few lunches. Glad you enjoyed your two days with them. And not at all surprised that you managed to make them MEANINGFUL.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09576557666945171982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281333125458134262.post-5745020832152493272010-11-03T21:15:44.673-04:002010-11-03T21:15:44.673-04:00We took our kids to the waterfront in Seattle and ...We took our kids to the waterfront in Seattle and as a big treat we went to Ivars for fish and chips. Just as we were passing out food to the two tables of our kids, a homeless person came up and sort of asked/gestured for food. I was unprepared and didn't quite know what to do and the person (not sure if it was a man or woman) left. Then Dimples got very worried about him and my heart was heavy, so we went to try to find him...but couldn't. <br /><br />I wish in that moment I would have had the presence of mind to share our food and the love of Jesus -- what a beautiful gift that would have been for my children. <br /><br />Good job leading your children in merciful acts - they are so blessed.<br /><br />Lisaone thankfulmomhttp://www.onethankfulmom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281333125458134262.post-62251030529140407702010-11-02T22:33:07.856-04:002010-11-02T22:33:07.856-04:00awesome experience for you and kids, wow! and LOVE...awesome experience for you and kids, wow! and LOVE the planner. right up my alley. any excuse to use cute paper.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230271605208479649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281333125458134262.post-39876325947047937682010-11-02T22:18:03.480-04:002010-11-02T22:18:03.480-04:00I've been wanting to make that same planner!
