Dear
SoupFriends,
Greetings
from the SoupMan!
Well, just
how lucky can one guy get? In my case, pretty lucky! And why do I say this you
might ask?
Am I lucky
because of my great wealth? Well, er, ah, you haven’t seen my checkbook balance
lately.
Am I lucky
because of my movie star looks? Well, er, ah, Hollywood hasn’t been calling me
lately.
Am I lucky
because of my enormous intellect? Well, er, ah, no one has compared me to
Einstein lately.
The real
reason I consider myself lucky is because of other people. Starting with my
wife Shana who is absolutely the most amazing woman on the planet; to my staff
at the SoupMobile who have a profound love, caring and compassion for the
homeless; to the thousands of SoupMobile friends, supporters, volunteers and
prayer warriors.
When I
started the SoupMobile in 2003 (actually Jesus started it and I assisted) I
did not know my wife Shana or any of my current staff or any of the thousands
of you out there that support the SoupMobile.
But now I do know you and all I
can say is “How lucky can one guy get.” While I may not be rich in financial
terms, my life (because of you all) is one of great richness with lots of
kindness, joy, peace, love, caring and compassion.
They say we
get out of life what we put into it. In my case I think I’ve gotten far more
back from you all than I’ve ever given. Yes, I am one lucky guy and I have all
of you to thank for it.
One last
thing about that lucky thing. How lucky/blessed we all are that Jesus came that
‘we might have life and have it more abundantly.’ So yes, I thank all of
you---my wife Shana, my staff, my friends, our SoupMobile supporters--- but
most of all I thank Jesus. Because of HIM, I am indeed one lucky guy!!!
May the Lord
Bless and Keep You and Yours!
