Taking a breath.....

This weekend the hostel is fully booked (go us!!) but that means that today for my Morning Café shift, that everyone was down for breakfast. It was going ok (I was a little tired this morning) but then I broke two of the cereal bowls, leaned over the grill after I cleaned it and got a huge grease spot on my favorite shirt, and had to try and decipher what people were saying to me even though they were speaking English, although I’m not a mind reader. And it’s only 2:20pm. I think I accidentally prayed for patience this morning, and God has given me lots of opportunities this morning to practice. I think I am now going to take a little nap and hope that the afternoon and night is a lot better than the morning. :)

But I thought I would put up a couple pictures from Dam Square.








And to think that in the 1970s, people were sleeping in the middle of the square, because there were no hostels in Amsterdam at that time.  That's why The Shelter was created.  To provide them with a safe place to spend the night.
