My next mission today was to help distribute food to people in a local community. I arrived and I had a genuine blast doing this. It was so much fun. I knew a few people there from church but got to really talk with a few that I see at church but today I was able to talk with them. That was a blessing. I was volunteering at the table that distributed gallon sized containers of unsweet tea and this one just puts a smile on my face and a gentle chuckle to myself...have you ever heard of sugar free sweet tea? Doesn't that sound like an oxymoron? I did look at the ingredients on that and it said sucrose I guess was the sweetener? Also, there were 2 types of juice distributed. After a period of time handing out what was at our table I began to explore the table next to ours. Hit the jackpot there. They had grocery bags filled with Pillsbury biscuits, crescent rolls to bake in the oven and then there were dessert type of items also. Containers of croissants also and bread. Once I got there I then switched to distribute and help at this table. This is where I really had fun and engaged the people. I would ask them if they liked a certain flavor of pie and I would give them a choice of what was there. I even saw in some of the bags blueberry hummus. I would ask if they wanted to try it. I never tried it but did hear that dessert hummus is supposed to be good. Boy, I was able to clear off that table and I said that when they do it again, another food distribution please put me at that table because I can distribute the items with doing it as a fun thing.
There was a point that one of the people from church took our picture at the table and I said hey don't put that on you tube ok. He responded he put it on Facebook so they could keep tabs of what I was doing I laughed at that. Well, distributing food with the love of Jesus is just like when I would greet at church. There is an anointing that comes upon me to bless God's people. I can only explain it like this an overwhelming love wells up inside of you and it remains well after it was activated. Maybe it was to stay with me until after I finish writing.
So they had bags of limes left over and I thought to myself, I can make a key lime cheesecake with these limes. I also picked up a container of cherry turnovers and I already shared them with neighbors where I live and the leasing office too. Oddly enough I felt led to bring in the bag of limes to the leasing office too. Sure enough the person working said sure they would take some limes so I shared them along with a cherry turnover. Isn't God so good and gracious?
I remember a time years ago when my spiritual mother's church that they attended would do food distributions in the summer and there would always be fresh local produce as part of it. I would go when I had the opportunity. It was a learning for me to walk in humility, so I remember being blessed so in turn it was time for me to now return the blessing to others. Let me share a picture of my spiritual mother. In the picture she is looking at a ring made in Israel I was wearing at one of my children's graduation parties from high school.
