Volunteering!

So today I was able to volunteer again at the foodbank.  I LOVE TO VOLUNTEER!!!   

Anyway, so it was awesome starting out because I was abe to work in some new areas and earn some new stuff.  I got to meet some VERY NICE old guys.  Apparently Thursdays is the day all the old guys come volunteer! hehe   So I'm workin away and learning new stuff and then this big group of people come in and have been told they are taking over the area that we were helping in.  I am fine with this as I am going to a new area.  Or so I thought!  For the next hour or so I was just breaking down boxes for this group of people.  They were completely rude and had no respect for other volunteers.  It's like we were all there today for them.  I felt like they looked down at me because I was volunteering there.  Like I was poor or something.  They would ask for my box cutter but not even really ask, it was more like demand!  One of the people tossed a box at me and I decided it was time for a break!

When you volunteer, there is nobody better than you!  Everyone is there for the same reason!  Our goal is a the same and that is to help feed those in our community that dont have food.

Does it make you feel better to belittle others?  No!  UGH!!!!

It's soo hard when your in this situation because I kept trying to tell myself that I am here for God and they are here because their work makes them come.  Would they come if they weren't with their work?  Probably not.  I am here because the food bank is close to my heart and if I can just keep that in mind, I should be ok.

Father, please forgive me for judging others as I don't know their hearts and only you do.  Thank you for the heart you have given me!
