“Truly, I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”   – Jesus Christ.

“Come that my father blesses you, inherit the kingdom prepared for you…for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked, and you gave me clothing, I was sick, and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” Jesus Christ,  Matthew 25:34-36.

I was born into a Jewish family, converted to Quakerism when I was 15, and have never quite landed when it comes to worshiping God. I don’t consider myself religious; I’m a seeker, taking something from each religion. Christ is the closest I have come to worshiping God. His teachings about helping people experiencing poverty and those with nowhere to go inspired and guided me.

In our time, anger, hate, and greed are growing out of the meaning of the holiday we are about to honor. I wonder where we can find God in a culture that worships holidays by selling and buying things. Jesus is rarely mentioned; how ironic that his birthday is so widely forgotten.

God is where we find him (or her) 0r it. I’m not sure where or what God is, but I know I see him in the hearts of people who live to do good. That’s where I feel the holiest.

These days, I find God in the Cambridge Food Pantry, where Christ’s kind and stirring message is not only not forgiven but lived and followed every day. Here is where the stranger is welcomed, the naked clothes, and whatever is done for the poor is done for a God I can believe and worship.

When I wonder where God is in our troubled world, I go to the Pantry to say hello and restore my faith in the meaning of faith.
