food pantry

Yesterday I helped in the local food pantry that is run out of my Church. I have to admit it was my first time actually helping while the clients were shopping for their items. I have been reflecting on this experience ever since. 

It was humbling to see so many families come and request food. They prayed together and genuinely were thankful for what they were receiving. God was working through all the volunteers there.

Watching the process it motivated me to want to tell others. As a community we need to do more. Picking up a few extra rolls of toilet paper, or a tube of toothpaste, or a box of pasta would make a difference. Go and help at your local food pantry, even if for one hour or even if just once. It made me truly appreciate what I have.

Tell everyone. You are helping your neighbors.

Donate to your local food pantry!

The war in Iraq might be over but there are plenty of soldiers still deployed in other places. Don't forget about the families that live in your community that have someone deployed. Valentine's Day is coming up so send a valentine to a deployed soldier or maybe send some candy to a child of a deployed soldier that lives near you. The smallest gesture can mean so much to someone that is away from a loved one.

dietary restrictions

My daughter has dietary restrictions. We have only been dealing with this for the last few months. Grocery shopping used to be so much easier. There are just not any coupons for healthy food. I am not sure why that is. Everyone talks about how important it is to eat healthy yet it is hard to afford it. I do save money on health and beauty products and I buy other things that I have coupons for and donate to the food pantry or the military. I actually started to contact some companies to inquiry about it and most gave a generic answer. Maybe more companies will give coupons for the healthy stuff until then I will donate what I can and save on health and beauty products.

journals

My mother in law wrote journals about my husband and he has really enjoyed reading them.  She passed away several years ago so it is even more precious. I have decided to start journaling about my kids. I have a journal for each of them. I write funny things, cute things, milestones anything that I am feeling that day. I hope that when they grow up they can appreciate my thoughts on them growing up.

Don't forget to look for books this week. I will be collecting books until the end of the month. The books are going to soldiers stationed in Afghanistan.
