NOW THE NEWS IN FULL.....

Oct 19th 2015, 15:43

When 27-year-old Quinn Duane called her mother to tell her that her wedding wasn't happening, that the groom-to-be got cold feet, the woman and her husband, who had spent $35,000 on the wedding reception, were shocked. It was supposed to be a beautiful banquet at Sacramento's Citizen Hotel, overlooking the city skyline, and the deposits had already been paid.

Instead of calling off their daughter's wedding, the Duanes decided to keep the reception. But it wasn't the original 120 guests who came Saturday – they invited a different group of guests - the Sacramento's homeless population - to a free, extravagant meal. The family said they thought it was the right thing to do.

"When I found out on Monday that the wedding would not be taking place, it just seemed like, of course, this would be something that we would do to give back," Kari Duane tells KCRA News.

The first to arrive was a woman who lives in a shelter for those who can't afford rent but are too old to work. Then, more came. The room began to be filled with children, individuals, families, even newborns.

The menu included salad, cauliflower, gnocchi, salmon, and tri-tip, similar to the food served at the hotel's four-star restaurant, The Grange. According to one homeless guest, it certainly beat the food prepared at homeless shelters.

"I think it's very generous actually to lose out on something so important to yourself and then give it to someone else," says Erika Craycraft, a homeless woman who came with her husband and five children.

The meal was a joyful occasion from their typical endeavor to serve three meals a day.

"When you're going through a hard time and a struggle, for you to get out to do something different with your family, it's really a blessing," Craycraft's husband, Rashad Abdullah, says.  

Quinn Duane, the would-be bride, did not attend, instead opting to stay home with her friends. On Sunday, she and her mother will go to Belize on what would have been her honeymoon.

KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END ...WE STILL GOT LOTS MORE .......

Revenge is a Poison meant for others, which we end up swallowing ourselves. Vengence is a Dark Light that blinds all who seek it. Don’t argue with Idiots.. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...

A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.

"That laundry is not clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".

Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"

The husband replied: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."

And so it is with life.

What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.

Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.

Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.

Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)

LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.

Have a beautiful Week !
