Trading a Thanksgiving morning on the couch for volunteering with Meals on Wheels is teaching my kids — and myself — an important lesson on gratitude - NBCNewsBETTER
In the church basement other volunteers gathered around and awaited instructions. After a welcome from the organizer, we got our delivery route which included the names of three different women, all located not too far from the church. We bagged up the meals according to whatever dietary restrictions were listed and headed back to the car to load up.
At the first house, my son eagerly rang the doorbell. An older woman opened the door and welcomed us inside. After talking for a few minutes, we learned that she was recently widowed and the sadness was palpable from our short conversation. Lightening the mood, my husband pointed out the rotary phone that hung on the wall and we had a laugh watching the twins try it.
