It's Wednesday, January 18th. And here I am, late again. My apologies to you, my mates
Today was a relatively good day for eating. I ate and whoops... forgot to eat dinner. Let me take a moment to do that.
And I'm back. Dinner was later than normal because I forgot and because we were busy today with volunteer hours for my kiddos.
I wanted to take today's episode to talk about what they did today. Today, they served the community in Orlando that need food the most. It's something they had done several years ago. It's one thing to hear about it online, see news reports either written or visually. It's another thing to see it in person, to see people waiting for a plate of food. Something we take for granted so much of the time. While I was there, I wondered for some, if this was their only meal. Had they eaten breakfast? Lunch?
Some arrived with children. Young children. Too young to be in school. I wondered if they had eaten. I could only hope that they had. One of the bright spots with this service was that the group had brought so much food that not only did people get one plate, they were able to get seconds, thirds... however much food they wanted. Some ate and then took another plate to go. Wrapped in foil and in a plastic bag. They served just under 100 people if my count was accurate. Even when we were leaving after they had stopped the food service, there were people who had been making their way there. It's hard to imagine missing what could have been their only opportunity for a meal. A hot meal, because they had to travel on foot from wherever they were to this location.
Everything left over they were able to save for the next service tomorrow.
Not everything I talk about will be about me, even if the original intent was to talk about me. That's what happens with doing a daily podcast, I guess. Things change.
I'll check in tomorrow mates.
