I Helped Distribute Free Food Today @ A Local Church. I Had So Much Fun Doing This, Even In The Rain It Was So Much Fun.

A friend at church told me about this and I helped distribute free food at a local church in February, 2019. I told this person to let me know when distribution will be again, I would like to volunteer. In February I started out working at one table until I discovered the dessert table. I just knew I could engage people and help pick out good desserts for their family. I requested to work at that table again today. Bread and desserts. Such a blast being able to bless people. By using the word "blast" I mean it was a lot of fun for me. It started to rain I did pray for the clouds to dissipate but the rain still came down for a little while. I just put on the hood of my jacket and kept on distributing.
This church is most organized. They have shopping carts there and volunteers will even push the cart for the person receiving food. I told a few people that Rainer Cherries are expensive in the grocery store so get some today. When it is near time to closeup they let the volunteers go through and they tried to give me this and that but there is only one of me so I only took a few things. But they gave me lots of whole milk and chocolate milk too. It was going to expire in a few days so I had to think about what I could do with all this milk. Gave some chocolate milk to a neighbor along with a few other items. I then knew the lady in the front office where I live has a family so I thought … give her milk and my recipe for rice pudding for her to make with some of the milk.  I think I also gave her some elbow macaroni and a bag of brown rice. She likes rice pudding. Actually, I have to pause now to finish my batch of rice pudding. I will be back shortly ok.
Finished making my batch of rice pudding. It turned out good today. I like to add golden raisins to mine while it cooks. Before I add the raisins I plump them up in hot water before I add them to the mixture. I will also share the recipe with you.
After volunteering I was on the hunt for some yellow wax bean plants to plant by my stalk of corn. Such a great sale today at the garden center. Buy 1 plant @ 2.29 and get 3 free. I bought my yellow wax bean plant and then found a green bean plant, eggplant and a yellow cherry tomato plant. I also decided to give my hummingbirds an upgraded nectar for them to enjoy. It was 9.99 a bottle for this concentrate and I thought I want to bless the hummingbirds. God gives me all the time His very best so why would I not bless the hummingbirds. This one has no dye in it. Let's see if they enjoy it ok.
I do not understand this but lately people have been telling me I am "beautiful." I tell them it is Jesus in me. Last weekend a really pretty lady kept calling me beautiful. I would just smile until I asked her about it the last night of the retreat. Why do you call me beautiful. Her response to me was as I was sitting on a stair on the staircase Holy Spirit showed her I was beautiful. Maybe I need to hear this and start believing what my Father in heaven thinks of me as. What do you think? I see my flaws and I need to go beyond that and see what He sees in me. Sometimes I do ask Holy Spirit to show me what He sees in me when I look into the mirror when I apply my make up.

Here are a few pictures. The angel was given to me by my mother when I turned 50 years old. She knows my love for flowers/gardening. I must admit one of the wings broke off in the back of the angel. Maybe I should have kept this angel for inside my home but I garden and I always felt it should be where I garden.  The next picture I tucked the eggplant in with my lavender and flowers. You can also see my chives, parsley and gardenia plant too in that picture. Can you tell I enjoy gardening even though it is on a patio?  Last 2 pictures show my hummingbird feeder with the new nectar in it. Look at how high my corn has grown on a patio mind you in a planter. I planted the yellow and green bean plants next to the corn. I hope you enjoyed seeing my quaint garden.
