Something Beautiful

I'm in my room right now, reading a news article and crying with joy. The article tells a story about a restaurant in Denver. Now you might be wondering, "What about a restaurant could possibly bring a person to tears. The place is in Denver, it can't be the food, you haven't even had any." You would be right on that point.

But the story isn't about the food. It's about the people. About the way it works, and the ideals it holds to.

This restaurant is a non-profit that asks patrons to pay what they want for their food. Payment is confidential and private. If you can't pay, you are asked to help in the kitchen by washing dishes or preparing a salad.

The thing that's beautiful about the whole thing is that they are running the restaurant so that people can eat with dignity.

I don't know who said it, but I know where I heard it first, "Another world is possible." That phrase exemplifies what these people are doing. It exemplifies how the kingdom is grown, and that's a beautiful thing. I encourage you to read the article. Here's the link.
