On Getting Old -- 21

Our church, St. Paul of the Cross, sponsors a dinner for the homeless every Sunday evening from the beginning of autumn through the end of spring. Last Sunday I had the pleasure of greeting the people to the dinner.

Young and old alike attended the dinner. Young couples with their children – oldsters with their canes or walkers. People with the look in their eyes wishing they did not have to come to such a place.

I welcomed them to our parish and the repast they were about to share in. A feeling of warmth spread throughout me for the little I was able to contribute to their lives.

Thanking the Almighty for the path through life I was able to traverse, I savored my candy of today and prayed for those less fortunate than I.

Ciao
