Founded in 1985 by three clergymen increasingly aware of the plight of the homeless of Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, Tender Mercies provides housing and support for homeless adults with histories of mental illness—no less a need now with rapid changes to the neighborhood and displacement of many. In 2013, in partnership with Tender Mercies, Kenton Brett led an ArtWorks team in creating this mandala of objects on 12th Street in downtown Cincinnati—reminding us of all the things that provide us a sense of home, but that are not necessarily a given for the impoverished. With many years of experience painting theatrical sets, Kenton Brett continues to do work for the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, but in 2010 he also partnered with David Jarred to create Golden Brown Enterprizes, using the absurd, gross, and humorous to provide exposure for lesser-known filmmakers and animators.  @artworkscincy

Do you ever get that overwhelming desire to make a Costco run? It tends to happen to me when I see snow in the forecast. I didn’t really NEED to yesterday, but into town Lucy and I went. Little did I know, I was in for a bit of a surprise. If you’re still here, come close and read this part slowly or keep scrolling. This certainly ISN’T a “look at the good deeds I’m doing!” kinda post. It isn’t an “I’m a network marketer, join my team and take home a bigger slice of the pie!” kinda post. This is a, “Want to just.... bake a bigger pie?” kinda post. When we got into town, Lucy and I went to the mall. I ran into an acquaintance who works there. She casually told me of some of the hardships and expenses she is dealing with due to the wind and ice. Of how she overspent at Christmas and underprepared for the weather and now she’s paying for it. With a chuckle she said, “I hope my kids like ramen and pancakes until my next payday... because that’s all we’ve got!” I smiled, but something in me felt on fire. You see, I too, have felt in debt because of mistakes. I have felt I had to work hard to make things right on my own. Grace & Miracles were things for other people. Better people. I said, “Forgive me. I’m probably going to make this as awkward as possible. I am on my way to Costco. I thought I was going just because I felt like it. But now... I know I’m going for you. When will you be home so I can drop off your groceries?” She resisted, then cried. I cried. Lucy almost cried because she was so confused. She instinctively hugged us both. I could fill our two refrigerators and pantry and love on this mama and her family all I wanted without touching my own family finances or even looking at the bank account... because I knew my 42nd paycheck from R+F had just been deposited and there would be plenty. I will keep sharing my thanks with you all for your support. I will keep inviting you to link arms with me. I will hold my head high for being “that girl” with all the skincare posts. I’ve seen God’s hands work through this business and show His abundance (hence the bigger pie!) too much to feel any other way about it. ❤️

Grace is doing, living in, and getting what I don't deserve, but MERCY is my God withholding from me everything I did deserve! #TenderMercies #TowardsMe #EternallyGrateful #ChanceAfterChance #ImStillHere #GraceAndMercy #HeLovesMe #GoodGoodFather #KingdomMinded https://www.instagram.com/p/B3SBFRoFPNgoDtVfUlD7LTU_AvZaGSMGFOMBG00/?igshid=rpsdhefbq74v
