The blessing of food...

I'm reminded this morning of the blessing of 'food'. While my pantry sits pretty much "full" (though I often can't find anything to eat) I am reminded by a sweet woman that so many people are in homes that look normal, that we drive by every day and don't realize that the people are "hungry inside that home". We are busy this morning catching up on calls but something told me to take this call instead of letting them leave a message while we continue to catch up, this feeling happens pretty often and it's never failed that I was glad I did!  Today it was a single woman with a 16 year old son and they just moved into their new apartment (hardly new, but new to them) and they have NO food at ALL (not just the stuff in the pantry that we don't feel like eating).
 
 We hope to share some HOPE with this mom and son today by taking her an emergency food bag and a couple bus passes for her and her son to go to the local food pantries so their pantry is "no longer empty". 


If you would like to provide a food bag or bus passes to families like this, become a $40 per month donor and you can help give HOPE and make a difference in someone's life by providing for a family just like this one every month. Become a monthly donor and begin changing someone's life today!

If you are unable to support us with financial gifts, we certainly understand and ask if you would please just remember our ministry and the people and families we serve in your prayers.  Have a blessed day!
