I just wanted food. I was hungry, so was Tim. There are a million choices on Commercial, all we needed to do was pick one. We finally settled on Sushi, a favorite for both of us. We ordered and sat at the only table outside. We couldn't pass it up, it was such a beautiful day. We had just finished the evening service at Tim's church and sat talking about the sermon when a man in a wheel chair came asking for change. Tim asked if he was hungry, he said yes. I went inside to order more food. As we waited the three of us began to talk. He had lived in Montreal for a bit but had been in Vancouver for the last 14 years, was a Canuck's fan (Vancouver's hockey team, who just happens to be in the finals), and had some temporary housing that he was staying in. We invited him to eat with us when the food came. So there sat the three of us - me, Tim and Steven - enjoying sushi on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. It couldn't have felt more right to be there in that moment.
There is something about sharing a meal with the poor because really, it's sharing a meal with Jesus.
Whoops, you're rushing things a tad, the Canucks are in the first round of the playoffs, the finals are the 4th round. We're certainly hoping they make it that far though... :)
