last night was our monthly union gospel mission service with the youth group. there were 11 of us that went to serve food to the homeless and the people that live at the mission.

when we got there, the menu consisted of turkey, potatoes, stuffing, green beans and gravy. christopher (i believe that's his name), the guy in charge, asked us who wanted to stay in the kitchen. i volunteered myself. dylan and ewok stayed behind with me while the others went into the dining hall and got ready with the salad bar type stuff and desserts.

it was a good time of just serving and talking to the guys as they came in, looking for a hot meal and a warm place just to sit. it was a cold evening, so the food did them some good. i always think that it is a good place for anyone to go and just put away themselves for an hour or two, dive in and bless those that are less fortunate. i know that whenever we go, we wind up being the ones that get blessed, even though that wasn't the reason why we went in the first place.
