VOLUNTEERING

Today was my first day volunteering at our church's outreach center, MASTER'S MARKET.  I helped with this ministry about 20 year ago when it was in the infant stage.  Then life, family and work got in my way.  Well now that I am "retired", I am back in the ministry.

The workers at the market are wonderful and they really work.  I am the youngest at 55,  the next youngest is probably 60 and then 75 plus after that. 

It is really sad to see the people who come in, no jobs,food,clothing.  Children without shoes and warm clothes.  These people are sad and despondent and we or the counselors I should say really do a great job encouraging them. 

I am tired, but a good tired and yet I am exhilarated.  can't wait until Friday when I go back.
