Two Meals
Posted by Emma, a member of St. Paul's J2A youth group:
Hey Everyone!!!
This morning we went to Glide Memorial Church and participated in a unique church service. It was very different from what we experience at St. Paul’s!
After the service, we left and saw a long line of people waiting for lunch. It struck us that all these people were waiting in line for a meal that we would turn up our noses at. When it came time for dinner, we could not make up our minds where to go eat while we were eating ice cream at Ben & Jerry’s. We finally decided on eating dinner at a Mediterranean deli (with groans about having to walk more).
When I look back on our interactions with ‘food’ today, I think about all those people in line and the fact that they don’t choose what they eat and are thankful as long as they get something to eat and then about us who get to eat when and what we want.
Throughout the whole day, we experienced the life of San Francisco and can’t wait to see what is to come.
Very beautiflul and insightful Emma, you sure made me stop and think. Thank you. Hope you had fun and stayed warm today visiting Alcatraz.
Hope to learn soon what Flight and time you all will be arriving on.
Miss you.
