O Key of David

" O Key of David, come break down the prison walls of death for those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and lead your captive people to freedom."
Excuse us for being so late in getting these posts out. The keeper has just been too to busy between work and her social calendar. It's not that we didn't try.
Sunday was a wild day for us. The keeper ran off to the Eastside and then headed down with her pack of Young Adults to one of the Lowe's stores to provide hot chocolate and Christmas presents to the day laborers there. Most of the workers had not found jobs for the day and were still hopeful inspite of the onrishing dark. The kids stayed long after, visiting with each other and the men. They had brought truckloads of bags of food and gifts, especially toys for the children of the workers, but most of the workers' children were still in the home country. But they appreciated the presence of these young people who insisted on taking all of their photos with the big banner. They were going to go to several other Lowe's before nightfall to try to give away more gifts. We think it's very impressive what these idealistic young people are doing. They themselves are immigrants and have so little, but their hearts are so generous and so attentive to those in need.
