Grateful

Last night, I went with a group from my sunday school class to the one and only homeless shelter to make and serve dinner, in the town that I go to school in. It's called St. Francis house. For one thing it is a tiny shelter and to see how many people came through there for food was very humbeling. They actually had to come in shifts. So anyway while I did have fun, I also was overcome with a sense of being completly grateful and thankful to God that he has provided for me and my family the way He has over the years. I mean there were kids in there that were my age. Like I can't imagine being homeless at my age and having to rely on a homeless shelter for my meal. I don't know I have been just thinking about it since last night and thanking God. Because really whose to say that one day, in this economy, that could be me. I pray to God that it won't be, but it could happen. And last night while I was sitting in my nice and warm comfortable dorm room I was just pondering about all of the homeless people here in town and also my hometown. Going out and serving others just makes me so much more grateful and thankful to God. So that's all I just wanted to share that and encourage everyone to go out and serve somewhere and make a difference.
