"Humbled"

I spent a couple of hours this evening serving food to the less fortunate.  It was an eye opening experience.  I felt so naive.  I have lived in this town for 30 years and had no idea that the need for this type of support even existed, let alone know that someone is providing it regularly.  We served salad, cold cuts, ice cream and candy to 100 people of every age and condition.  Many of them were handicapped, either mentally or physically, many of them were poorly dressed, many of them never even made eye contact as they shuffled by our station.......but every last one of them said 'thank you' when I put a few slices of meat on their bun.  I mean, every last one!  I notice those things.

The real glory of the evening however was experiencing the whole thing with my granddaughter.  When the evening was over, she had only one question.

"Grampa, can we come back again next month?"

Damn I feel grateful!  And damn it feels good to feel so grateful!  I hope it motivates me to share more of myself.

....and I gotta give it to Jesus...

"For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and everyone who humbles himself will be exalted."---Jesus Christ
