THE MAN AND HIS LOVE:
I just met a man in Lebanon and spent time with him. Each day, he walks along the streets of the poor areas of Beirut, just meeting with people, no matter what their religion or background, giving, sharing, talking. He loves them greatly. There is so much in the media about the plight of Syrian refugees but little about the people who love them. The man often says, "Sorry, I don't know if I can pay your hospital bills or provide rent money, but I will try to get you some food for the children... the best I can." And he does, person by person, child by child. A man of love on the streets.
