Food Pantry...

Tuesday's are food pantry days. I look forward to all the ministries but I absolutely love the food pantry. One because I get to hand out food to people in need. Two I get to give hope and inspire the people I come into contact with. Though at times it can be chaotic trying to get the right amount of food to people but we do have our slower times where I get to go outside and talk to people. Well it was a slow time and as I was going inside the food pantry I saw this man sitting across the lawn. So I just continued on inside and thought to myself, "perfect opportunity. it's slow and he looks like he needs a friend." I made my way on over there and his name is Charlie. He lives by himself and I got to talking to him about God and I eventually gave him a Bible. I didn't ask if he wanted to accept Jesus Christ or pressure him into anything because I'm trying to build a relationship not him being a project. I encouraged him to come to our senior time on thursday morning and he said he would come. So please pray that he'll come and I'll have more time to talk to him. The seed is planted it just needs to be watered.

Later on today a guy knocked on the door of the pantry and and it was really slow so again I took it upon myself to go outside and talk to him. His name is Robbie. He started sharing some things going on in his life like him being involved into some pretty bad things and that's why he's coming to the food pantry. He needs help...He's trying to get his life on track. I was also able to give him a Bible. Not everyone takes the Bibles I offer so I'm glad when they do. The seed is planted. It just needs to be watered. I think he'll be back so we shall see. Please pray that he'll continue to keep seeing God and keep his life on track.

I think my heart breaks everytime I hand a bag out because I'm so blessed and I don't know their daily life. I don't know what obstacles they have to face. Just like kid's club. With some of the kids I don't know what their home situation is. The only thing I can do is to love on the kids when I see them.

Please pray that every person we come into contact with will just feel the love of God and see the hope they can have in Him. Please pray that they'll see that they have a life that's worth living.
