The Love of Sharing

This morning there was a knock at the door – it was Amorie, and he was excited to tell me that the church one block away was sharing food with all of us as neighbors.  He insisted that we go check it out together.  That is so like Amorie – whenever he comes across a great opportunity, his first response is to go tell others so they can benefit from it too.  We headed over together and soon the exploration became a full-fledged neighborhood scavenger hunt, so you can read more about it on the Central-Cocoanut blog.  Here are a few pics:

  

 What impressed me this morning was how delighted Amorie was by having this food share here in the neighborhood, right down the street, and how his natural inclination was not simply to take the food that was offered, but to make sure other neighbors found out about it, and to contribute as well.   

Amorie is a great example of a real-deal community-builder, and I have much to learn from him.
