Today, being Wednesday, hungry people were fed at the dump. I did not go today. It was my day off and I just needed and wanted to stay home and not go anywhere today.
Of course, feeding went well. There is hardly ever a problem with feeding anymore. The mayor's wife called Marc last week and said she wanted to come today and that she had some shoes to give out at the dump. Anything new or different besides the food sometimes causes chaos. Marc told her sure, but bring lots of security.
Marc had no idea how many shoes she had. The fewer shoes mean more chaos as more people don't get them. She showed up with 300 pairs of shoes. Air Jordans. $150.00 a pair shoes.
Marc had talked to several people before she arrived and she did bring completely of security. Marc said there was hooping and hollering like you cannot imagine, when people realized what they were getting.
I would have loved to have been there. To take pictures. To see their faces and hear their excitement. It is still satisfying to know that something like Air Jordans was given out at the dump.

Awesome story... :) Who would have ever thought.
Wow!!That is great! New shoes are something most of us take for granted. I bet most of the people who got shoes at the dump had never had a new pair of shoes. The ways God works never ceases to amaze me.
dear Terri,
how did the mayor know what sizes to bring?
did the children have shoes given to them?
or just the adults?
I can't imagine! What a story! It seems that you have the mayor's attention! Hope you're doing well!
