Serving the Lord, feeding the hungry.

Wednesday was our day at the Open Door.  It was not raining but was quite warm.  I hesitate to say hot when I think of the temperature in Texas and the southwest.  We found to our dismay that we were the only servers there and the cooking staff was under staffed as well.  This was accompanied by the largest crowd I can remember.  The new method was better for us in that we could never have delivered meals to all the people there in a reasonable time.  Now we just stand beside the drink carts and wait for them to come to us.  We weren’t covered up as I had expected.  Evelyn said that a woman near her vomited into her plate.  This made her to declare she was never going back to serve.  I feel the same for a different reason: many of the people there are just freeloaders, but I try to keep in mind that Jesus loves them too and I am serving Him, not the people there.  We were finished at 2 and still no rain.  We came home to clean up (Evelyn has to shower when returning from there) and rest.  The rain did return for the 9th out of 10 times.  This occurred when we were at choir practice.  The rain has really hurt the farmers who can’t cultivate or weed.  It has also cause many sink holes in the area and caused many trees to just fall over.
