Recycling

Last week, I had the privilege to have a meeting at Knox Area Rescue Ministries. I’ve long been a fan of the incredible work KARM does in the community, so it was great to visit to hear about some of the exciting new projects they have coming up.

One KARM team member shared a really interesting concept with me. She said that these days, so many people are into recycling. And rightfully so. You can’t turn on the TV without seeing something about being green or reducing, reusing or recycling.

The thought my contact shared was that what KARM does best everyday is recycle. Only instead of plastic, they are into recycling people. Those who have been discarded or used up. Those who have been “thrown away” by society have a chance to become useful again.

That's a great concept. And it’s a reflection of what God does everyday. Providing second chances for all of us who need them.
