This past Tuesday evening, I provided entertainment for our Be Our Guest meal. This is a formal sit down dinner we serve to those in our community who wish to attend.
A great meal . . . served by some of the best volunteers ever.
I closed my song set (quietly singing in the background), I started the song "Lean on Me."
No big deal . . . except that it's one of the favorite songs for about half of our volunteers, who broke out in dancing and singing the song with me.
Several tables of people eating also broke out in song.
A great way to end and evening . . . a bunch of people singing together . . .
Lean on me
When you're not strong
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'till I'm going to need
Somebody to lean on . . .
To a lot of people in that room . . . those words describe how they are trying to live their lives.
God's grace still amazes me . . . ><>
