For 15 years I have been a member of our Social Justice Commission at our Church - It is a Commission to serve the poor and needy -Our new leader invitited us to his house for a picnic - I expected the usual fare of burgers and hot dogs- we all brought someting - my contribution was Lays potato chips and 2 10 inch cheese cakes - instead of burgers we had grilled turkey - grilled peppers and grilled zucchini -there were salads and other goodies - it was great talking to our group and how our faith has pulled us through a lot of hard times - illnesses,hurts, finances and life's unexpected hurts --we ate inside after sitting for awhile on the deck - we were invited to go into the pool but no one seeemed to want to - Often I wanted to quit the group for I feel I am not doing enough but I am told I cannot quit for my input is what they want -This year I didn't attend many meetings because of health problems - We are to have another heat wave today and tomorrow - I guess I will be indoors after grocery shopping ---Marie G
