How often do you ask yourself “Why?” Your first answer may not be as truthful as you think. “Why didn’t I volunteer to bake goodies for the hospitality kitchen?” First reason: I don’t have time. And…anything else? I don’t like going there. Why not? It’s so unpleasant. Why? I don’t know how to talk with those people. What do you mean by “those people”? Well, they’re so unlike me. Really? How are you different? Well, I have a roof over my head. And what does that have to do with baking for the needy? Oh, all right. I can manage some baking, and if I deliver the goodies, I might understand the recipients more. Maybe eventually I’ll be less afraid. Maybe do some good for them and me beyond baking a batch of cookies.
