10 more lunches in Waco

Who ever would have thought that High School students would be willing to get up early on their Saturday morning to serve some people in need in our area.

After talking about this 10 lunches idea, we offered an opportunity for some Baylor students as well as some High Schoolers from the area, to give back.  We met at the K-Life Club Building, rallied the troops, and got started.  The girls that came made muffins and banana nut bread and through Meals on Wheels visited the homes of some elderly adults. The guys started making sandwiches, each person had a part in the prep and we hit the road looking for someone who might need a lunch.

It's amazing how something so simple could be so powerful.  A small, plain brown bag lunch...a few muffins and a smile...the students involved got to see first-hand how easy is to serve someone else.  It doesn't take thousands of dollars, it just takes a heart that is willing.  And perhaps the highlight for me was watching our High Schoolers catch on to the idea of giving back, of doing something to make this world better.

If nothing else, I hope all of us can catch on to the idea of finding new, creative, fun, easy ways to serve. Let us know if you do something in your area or if you've got an idea...we want to share your story.

Thanks.
