Change of Mood

Hello, I got up felling grumpy and a bit unnecessary for the world. Some of that was caused by the lack of sleep. But still, it is a different thing to get up and be ready to take on the world. Too often these days I wonder: can I make a difference, do I make a difference, and how to make a difference. It seems to me that the most vulnerable people in the world seem to get the brunt of bad decisions. I did go volunteer at the neighborhood meal service. It was good to greet familiar faces and work with them. There were many donations over the weekend. I helped sort canned items, date them, and shelve them. After that it was on to sorting the chicken that had come in from a restaurant. It was an especially large amount today. One person commented that all of this food used to be thrown away and now it is given to someone who is living on the edge of food scarcity. The real problem is how to lift people out of poverty. It seems that wages are often too low for them to live on what they make. Some people have disabilities so are not able to work or must work for limited times and in limited jobs. I spend much time praying about these issues, but do not see answers. Paula
