I love serving Meals on Wheels.  I get to go into the many nooks and crannies of Lincoln, see elegant homes, beautiful yards and neighbors and meet elderly folks in need of a warm meal.  Most of the homes are decent and most folks are grateful for the service. Until lately, I would hurry to deliver the meals so that none would be late.  However, a week ago, Greg Schnasse commented in our club meeting that he liked to engage the folks in a conversation, because the social benefits were as important as the food.  He has a point. Now, Greg is a talker and I can’t compare to his gift of gab, but I did start to asks folks how they were doing and this brought back a brief response that seemed appreciated.

Jesus said that “man does not live by bread alone,” and although he had something different in mind, I believe we all need social interaction for our well-being.  Whether this brief interaction, does any good or not is open to question, but it certainly can’t hurt. 

Therefore, I’m going to continue on this course.  I mentioned a few months ago the importance of Rotarians coming together to provide the social interaction we all need.  So, let’s keep up our good work in doing so.
