Wisdom From the Homeless: Lessons a Doctor Learned at a Homeless Shelter

SOMETIMES THE WORLD SEEMS LIKE A VERY DARK PLACE. . In this angry world I have seen a glimpse of light. I have seen kindness love and hope at a homeless shelter. Siloam Mission is named after a pool where in Biblical times Jesus healed a blind man. In this tradition the Mission has a medical clinic and I have had the privilege of working there. The homeless men and women I have met at Siloam have taught me profound lessons about perseverance through suffering expressing joy in dire circumstances and the rewards of service to those in need. I want to share those lessons with you.
