Yesterday I was walking to the car in Stapleford and my husband noticed by the curb two small plants still in their containers. We couldn’t see who might have dropped these baby lavenders so we picked them up and brought them home to plant in our garden.
Jesus was once left behind too, his parents looked everywhere for him but this young lad had chosen to go into the Temple and was having a great time….talking! (Luke 2:41)
This incident reminded me of people I meet through my work in the Salvation Army, men, women, and families that feel they too have been left behind. My heart breaks when I see and hear some of their experiences. People don’t usually choose to be a society drop out but they seem to somehow find themselves right in it!
Do you know someone who is being left behind? Is there anything you can do?
