What an amazing experience. Sure I had a handful on no-shows, but even so... everything could not have gone more perfectly!!
Funny... at one point it started to rain out of the blue... and the roof was leaking so bad that I was drenched! Again... it didn't matter. It had been so hot that the water felt quite refreshing.
I had the perfect amount of helpers... I even had a mom and dad that brought the teenage kids plus two friends and we had them serve the dinner. They did an awesome job! I had an amazing amount of food thanks to Sprout's Farmers Market... and I was even able to leave the Shelter food for another two meals. Thank you again for all the food!!
All I can say is that.. we may not have much, but compared to these people I have so much. I have so much to be grateful for... and I am so grateful for having had this opportunity today! I am definitely signing up again.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deedsand glorify your Father in heaven. ~Matthew 5:16 (NIV)I am second..
[here's to you finding your... ]
Peace...
... for a, l & c. You are my sunshine(s).

Helping people is so wonderful and important. I'm glad you were able to give something back to your community :) Good for you!
I spent Sunday at a homeless feeding with my 13 yo. It was a great experience. It was my birthday so I considered it a present to myself. :)
I'm so excited for you that you did it! It sounds like it was everything you wanted it to be and more. Congrats on a job well done.
Congrats, Carla!
I love that smile on your G+ photo. :)
