Paid to Love

(7/93) Covenant House

The above is a picture of a banner that the male residents painted. It is hanging up on the wall at work. Been thinking a lot tonight about the years I have been in social work and all the faces I remember. I have grown to care about so many some who have died in the streets, some who have escaped the destructive cycle and moved on to a better life. My heart feels so full with memories of each one that sometimes I wonder how I will continue to fit any more in and yet there is always room for another. I feel so privileged to be given this opportunity daily to love and be paid for it.
