who are my heros?


the disabled man who works at the mall picking up trash and gets laughed at by people passing by... the single mom working multiple jobs and barely getting by to provide for her kids... the alcoholic who goes to his first support group meeting... the divorced father working extra jobs to pay child support... the pastor who got caught red-handed but is repentant and trying to start over again... the grandmother raising her grandkids... the husband who makes dinner for his wife after she's had a long day taking care of the kids... the recovering drug addict who struggles with all of his heart to stay clean... the wife who prays for her husband even though he treats her like trash... the maimed child who begs daily on the streets for money he has to give to a ruthless crook who cut off his hand to make him look more pitiful... people who try to keep on going, even if they've been marginalized, made mistakes, been a victim, or are in a less-than-ideal situation in life... JESUS, because He knows what it means to suffer, and because He loves us all!
