So yesterday, for school, one of the freshman "houses", as they call it, was taking a feildtrip to Feed the Children to pack food, personal hygiene, and Avon boxes. FCA got to go with them, so even though i wasn't in that particular house, I'm apart of FCA, so I got to go! It was an awesome experience! Some thoughts I had throughout the day:
It made me really happy that my peers were going out and making a difference! 3 bus loads full of students went! A huge majority of them being ones i sit next to, across from, or behind in class! They may not even realize the kind of impact they are going to have on someone's life. I know many of them only went because it got them out of school for the day, but they still went, they still worked, and they made a differece! While I was packing the peas into each box, I couldn't help but pray for everyone who came on the feildtrip. I wanted them to realize what they were doing. I wanted them to see and understand what kind of an impact they were making! And I wanted them to see all of that and also see that they are having fun at the same time! Celia and I were talking while we were breaking down boxes (more of our conversation is to come in a post later. we had a pretty deep conversation right there!) and we decided that we caught a slight, little, slim glimpse of what the world would be like if everyone wanted to serve God, if everyone knew of his love, if everyone wanted to please him. Not many were complaining, everyone looked like they were having a good time, and we were making a difference! Overall, we packed over 3200 boxes of food and personal hygiene and Avon items! It was awesome!
It was a great experience and I'm so glad that I got an opportunity to serve with my peers and make an impact in other people's lives. (The missing school part was pretty cool too (: )
