Helping Hand

With a stroke of luck we happened upon some friends last night. They were planning to volunteer as a family at a local soup kitchen. Demi and I had been looking for opportunities to volunteer as a family. We had explored a couple of ideas. But this was just the right thing. There were 3 sittings over a few hours. The boys were great. The director even comment that she would work with them 7 days a week. They were welcome back any time. It was unsolicited too.
Demi asked the boys questions on the way back. She genuinely wanted to make sure they didn't have any unanswered questions. But she also wanted to see what they got out of the whole experience. Based on the questions, conversations, and comments from the boys, it seems like they got the right things out of the experience. Very positive for everyone.
