Vivienne told us her story a while back, about working at a food bank in reno. She ended up in a conversation w/ a woman there, and realized how similar they were in so many ways.
I hope you find it as inspirational as i do. Thanks for reading.

We are all privledgedto recieve , and as we say grace, we remember that to be thankful for the most basic blessings like our food, is one of the most authentic gratitudes of all. Opportunities like these stay with us in a much deeper way, and we are more inclined to give thanks!

Lin wrote: Great lesson you shared. Thank you! Like many good novels, the ending struck me in a good powerful way that made my eyes moist- i was hoping somehting like would turn out in real life, just for once!
I believe in humanity, i believe in the goodness and kindness in people. Circumstances put people in situations, and i wish them good luck with strong positive will and action, blessed by the grace of god! So it's not the poor. Or the rich, in general; neither a class clash in the society, not always. Regardless of economics status, age, education level, prior experience, race, things could happen.
I also see the inner-connectness of people. When we people choose to act kindly, good things happen.

We all seem one step away from possible job loss, homelessness, and other situations. We need to be aware and kind of everyone we meet. A great lesson to learn in high school and remember always.

When our children were in their teens, we went to serve the "homeless" and those on the streets Thanksgiving & Christmas dinners through the Salvation Army. We volunteered for several years and it was maybe the most important lessons our children could've learned at time in their lives. Thank you so much for sharing this story and expressing it so well. God bless your efforts! :) ModestoBob
