The Round the Clock Restaurant, located on US 30 in Schererville recently had a fire and now is closed awaiting restoration repairs.

This was a wonderful place to get an inexpensive meal. Their breakfasts, lemon rice soup, and homemade pies were especially tasty, and a favorite for many customers.

I had noticed that the normally full parking lot was empty at various times of the day, and then I found out about the fire and subsequent closing.

I felt sad for the owners, who had poured their lives into the success of that location. I wish I could have known them better to offer my best wishes.

We all see people face sad, unexpected developments in their lives.

Unlike my Round the Clock experience, I encourage each of us to reach out to those hurting, showing them concern and giving one’s best wishes. Let us be God’s loving hands in a time of need.
