Good Feelings Shared

March 9, 2019 by r.carl

A Lenten Devotion by Ric Carl

Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.

Romans 12:11-13

This picture is of Connor, Noah, Sam and me from the kitchen at the Pearl Street Café. I didn’t know much about the Pearl Street Café except we were going to volunteer for confirmation class. It was a little bit out of my comfort zone because I didn’t know what to expect. This Café feeds all kinds of people from the Framingham area. We helped feed around 90 people at no cost to them. Our jobs included checking in people and doing a head count as they came in, washing dishes, stocking shelves and making chicken salad sandwiches.

What I learned is volunteering with the boys, Reverend Debbie and Daphne (the other sponsor) and helping people in need is a good feeling for myself. We ended the night at IHOP feasting on pancakes and getting to know the boys a little bit better. Good times, Ric.

Thank you, God, for the opportunity to serve, and for good friends of all ages. Amen.
