Finally got down to doing some volunteering at Willing Hearts, this time alone cause it was race season so a lot of the folks were busy elsewhere.
Delivered food to this house where the auntie sold ornaments to make ends meet, her living room was littered with stacks of CNY decorations and the walking space was very narrow.
Was about to knock on her door when she stepped out all dolled up. She smiled and took the food and placed it in her kitchen, then followed me down the elevator.
I asked her where she was headed and she said she was going to the Taoist temple nearby to meet her friends for fellowship.
I smiled and said wouldn't her food be cold by the time she comes home, to which she replied "In life, personal (material) things such as food can wait, the prayers and fellowship among my friends come first today."
And just as she finished her sentence, the elevator door opened and she waved goodbye and happily trotted along on her way.
I don't know why but that sorta made my day
