We had enough food to be able to generously give seconds and even thirds. The pineapple glazed ham and cream of mushroom green beans actually turned out really well. And several of the people we served commented on how much they enjoyed the food.
We also were able to give them each a gift package as they were leaving; and one person even called the pre-dinner worship service speaker to say how much they appreciated what we put into the gift package. The worship speaker said that he was going to take the leftover gift packages to pass out at another location where many other homeless people "live".
Not only were those we served blessed; but, we were also, maybe even more so. There were some who were newer to the class, and this was their first time - several of them commented about what a fulfilling and special experience it was. Many also said they would definitely continue to be involved ongoing in our monthly outreach.
There were other similar stories of blessings; and I'm sure that God was at work in other ways that I am not even aware of. What a blessing to be able to take part in God's Work!
