Discovered the book Friendship At The Margins, by Christopher Heuertz and Christine Pohl. "Even when we choose to minister among the most vulnerable communities, we never give up all of our resources. We do not experience poverty in the same way as our friends who are socio-economically poor, and our friendships are made more complex by some of the differences. But that is only part of the story, because the ways God works in and through us are much more connected to tender hearts and open hands than to personal assets and skills."
This is a great quote Ruth. Tender hearts and open hands - the church and its people could do with some further reflection (and practice) on those qualities. Thanks for sharing.
