Thursday afternoon we volunteered at a love feast called
“agape” at the Broadway Jesus Church. I had volunteered at this particular dinner
once before and it was interesting to see the differences in conversation
between the two events. I met an older couple today with some unimaginable
struggles. The man was in a wheelchair due to a recent surgery on his leg. He
went on to tell me that he will most likely have to have his leg amputated,
which was extremely hard to hear. His wife was a soft-spoken woman who was attempting
to gain advice from me about her husband. It was clear that she had an
intellectual disability, and I found it quite humbling that she still wanted so
desperately to help her husband through his surgery.
