Dinner Service

It has now been one full week since I started this inspiring little project. Each day has brought new ideas, thoughts and feelings. I'm finding books and articles in magazines that give ideas for helping others which I think will be a helpful tool in my journey. (I feel like I might run out of my own ideas very soon!)

Tonight, my boyfriend D and I went to the Union Gospel Mission to serve dinner to those in need. It was my second time volunteering at the dinner service and tonight was even better than the first time. I felt more comfortable and as if I didn't need as much direction as I did a couple weeks ago.

The folks were smiling more tonight than before, we were able to send to-go plates with anyone who wanted one and things just seemed brighter all around. Perhaps it was just the smiles that made the evening so sweet.

Wednesday I'll be back, so looking forward to it already.

Peace :)

  1. I love your blog, post again soon! The other day I took a parking spot kind of far from the door at Fred Myer and was so happy to see that an elderly man took the close spot I passed up.
