Have I mentioned that I love what I do? And to be completely
honest, it’s nothing that I am doing, it’s just so awesome to be a part of this
organization and to see how the Lord is working in it. Today I was moved to tears
because of a simple donation to the Village of Hope. A woman came by this
morning with several platters of food… chicken, eggs, sausages… yummy stuff. It
was left over food from a meeting last night. I was so moved because this week
for our HIV support group we have planned a fun day playing and picnicking outside
at the Grabouw Country Club. We have a small weekly budget to provide snacks
for the kids, and today we planned to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
and bring chips and juice. I was brought to tears with that seemingly simple
donation of left-overs because now we can bless these children with a good,
hearty picnic… something I can guarantee never happens for them. Oh I hope
these kids go home with full bellies today!
As I was chatting with a friend last night, I told her that
I can’t picture myself doing anything else in the world… and today is a perfect
example of why. I love being a part of something bigger than myself and
blessing people with something that I have always taken for granted.
The Lord has blessed me.
