Serving it Up!

The youngins went back to school today so I decided it was high time I helped serve. I went to the Highland campus around 9:00 a.m. and was pretty much assigned to helping put together lunch plates for delivery. I don't know that I've really ever volunteered to serve in a situation like we are in right now so I didn't really know what to expect. Anyone that knows me, knows that I'm not one to hang out outside and be all hot and sweaty. However, once we got started I found that I was actually enjoying myself. We had a great system going. I was the official "black-eyed peas and rice scooper". Goodness, how many lunch plates did we even put together? Hundreds! Not exactly sure how many. Our HPC Cooking for Christ team is great to work with!

After we were finished with the lunches some of us still had some time left before we had to leave to Mrs. Ann Morrow gave us another assignment: taking inventory of an 18-wheeler truck that had brought some supplies. On the way to the truck I realized just how hot it was outside and wished the 18-wheeler we would be in had a generator and a/c unit. Imagine my excitement when we walked up to the truck only to realize it was a refrigerated truck carrying fruits and vegetables! The Lord works in mysterious ways!

It really felt good to help out today, so I am hoping to go back tomorrow and do it all again!

This was the refrigerated truck that we worked in to take inventory. Lots of fruits and veggies!
