Happy Easter everyone! Take a quick moment to remember what took place 2,000 years ago on this special day.
My next trip is now set, and will be from May 3-May 14 to the eclectic and diverse country of South Africa. I should know by the end of this week what kinds of items I'll be taking to the orphaned children I'll be spending time with while there.
I spent a good part of today in downtown Chicago, first attending the Easter service at Willow Creek Chicago, then serving some ham sandwiches to the homeless men at the nearby shelter. With the warmer weather setting in, not quite as many guys are staying there, as about 25-30 men were there. It's always a privilege to serve these guys.
Tomorrow, (like the last 2 Mondays) will be a double serve. First I'll be at Peoples Resource Center in Wheaton at their food pantry for the afternoon. Then I'll head to Bessie's Table soup kitchen in Des Plaines in the later afternoon and into the evening. On Tuesday will be the usual afternoon shift at the Northern IL Food Bank in Geneva.
Choose kindness, brighten someone's day this week!
