We had great plans, God had even better!

My twin sister wanted to throw a party for kids at Seva cafe. We planned every bit of it. My sisters family, all the  volunteers and every kid- all of them were excited about the party. Unfortunately, two hours before the party time it started raining heavily so much so that I and my sister got stuck in traffic, we couldn't pick the kids up because of flooded streets and the volunteers at seva cafe who had specially cooked food with love were still waiting for us. Finally we had to cancel the party.

We were disappointed as things were not going according to our plans. The other day we went to seva cafe where Bhaskar, Raghu and Duxaben as always recieved us with so much love that the disappointment started vanishing. We decided to take the food to the kids community.We went from one kids house to another interacting with each family. We gathered at the Centre of the community did a prayer and had our Lunch.There was no music, no dancing, no modern ambiance, no table etiquette but a lot of laughter with the kids, their parents and their neighbors right next to the little temple they consider very auspicious. It made us feel we had great plans but god had even better!
