This Christmas, help others find their miracle, writes MatthewBarnett. RestoringAmerica
and helped them find hope, housing, jobs, and mended relationships. In all respects, 2022 actually seemed like a fantastic year for my family and colleagues.
Take, for example, Marie, a young woman who came to the Los Angeles Dream Center looking for help and hope. She had lived in fear throughout her childhood because of an abusive father. The trauma from her past consumed her, and she turned to drugs to cope. She came to us broken and full of the fear that had led her into 18 years of addiction, crime, and brokenness. It was her husband who encouraged her to get help.
But even after moving back home, Marie never cut ties with us when she got back on her feet. Instead, she and her family come back to the center every year, don the hairnets of food servers, and help serve the more than 20,000 people who will come through our doors this Christmas season. In the Christmas story, I often stumble through the cringe-worthy part, when the innkeeper refused to give a room to the expectant couple. Little did he know that he was missing an opportunity to bless someone who would change history, and millions of people would know about it. That’s not how I want to be remembered.
