A Serious Entry.
I've had a very meaningful weekend so far. Yesterday at youth group, we packed sandwich bags to hand out. And today, that's what we did. Me and Jeff met up with my youth group at Science World in the morning. Anthony came too. We walked around downtown handing out our 76 sandwich bags. Although it was freezing cold and raining even with our jackets and warm clothes on, I bet it was even worse for the people who received our sandwich bags. It was a really good experience getting to see firsthand what it was like for the homeless people in Vancouver, something a person like me doesn't see often. I felt really humbled and thankful for that. It really makes a person appreciate what you have. I also felt very sad and disappointed when many people didn't get a sandwich bag because there wasn't enough. It was probably one of the few times that I really felt strongly for other people. I hope the people enjoyed the sandwiches we carefully made and packed, even if they didn't read the encouraging messages stapled to them. I felt like we had really made a difference today. Even though we only provided a single meal, this may be one of the few encounters they have with a Christian. It was definitely unique and I enjoyed it very much.
