as i sit and reflect on the week that was and the experiences that i accumulated i remember something that a mentor of mine taught me in college... he said that the best gift that you can give someone would be a better you.
i can't help but think that st. charles just received 49 better "you's". i know that right now i am a better me tonight, my first night back home than i was my last night home before we left.
there are VIVID pictures that have been burned on my heart like a brand that will be permanent fixtures for life. its trips like this, opportunities to extend life further and farther than before that shapes and nudges lives... all the lives involved in every side. we had the incredible privilege to feed the less fortunate, but who got the bigger blessing? who witnessed the bigger miracle?
the best gift you can give is a better you...
are you a better you today than you were yesterday?
