I have been doing my volunteer work at Meals on Wheels since Monday. The first day I met with Gloria and she assigned me a route which happened to be in my neighborhood. I made the rounds which was slightly different from the usual because I didn’t have a wing man like we do at work. I made it through with the help of my friend Google Maps and managed to finish without any mess ups.
On the second day, my sister Elda wanted to help and I gladly accepted. This time the route was different and it was in the Fairway Oaks area which also included the Dialysis Center. We met several friendly people today. We had one stop that was for a little old couple Charles and Gladys . We only spoke with Charles and their little dog Mini. He was a very sweet man.
My niece Victoria, who is Elda’s daughter came in from Arlington area today and I got to visit with her . We told her about our route and she wanted to help me on Wednesday. She drove to my house and off we went which also allowed us to catch up during our route. We happened to get the same route as I had on Tuesday. When we came to our last stop which was the little couple, Charles told us Gladys had passed away during the night. It was so sad but he said she had been hospitalized for awhile now. We visited with him and then said our goodbyes. I called the office to let Gloria know and she said she would report it to caseworker. I just never expected something like this to happen.
During the evening time I went with Laurie and Sonya to the Fields of Faith at Shotwell Stadium. The music and speakers were awesome and it was amazing to see hundreds of our youth accepting Christ. Very powerful.
I don’t know which route I will have today but I am blessed to be able to help. Very grateful that our company gives us the opportunity to go out in the community to be servants and also to stop and rest our minds, body and souls which I needed very much so. Worked on relationship with my niece who is going through difficult situation and this time allowed us to be able to talk. Read my bible and my devotional. This has been a very good sabbatical week and I feel that God has placed me in very different situations this week but it was where I was needed to be. Thank you all. Blessings.
