One of my most favorite things to do in the world is to give to people. I love to see their faces, I love to see the joy and the love that I feel inside is abounding.
Last weekend out youth group did a Scavenger Hunt Food Drive and all the food went to our "No One Goes Hungry" ministry for the holidays.
So the this was the first time some of these kids had ever done anything like this and I wasn't sure how they were going to respond or how much they would actually get into it. THEY DID AMAZING!!! We had some competitiveness going on that made it soo fun.
The amount of food the kids brought back blew me away. They all enjoyed it and are very excited to do it again.
So with all the food they brought back, we were able to deliver 3 food boxes today and still have more food to put together 2 more boxes. I was fortunate enough to deliver 2 of those boxes to families who need this food more than you can imagine.
When you drive up to meet them and they don't actually know why you are stopping by and you can give them this huge box of food and see their faces, my heart exploded. I wanted to cry. When people are struggling to provide for their families and they just can't they feel helpless. We had soo much food brought in that we were able to help more people than we thought we would and that was all JESUS. He knew of the needs and he provided just like he promises. He uses us to show his love to be his hands and feet.
I could never ask for anything better than to be his hands and feet and if I could have a full-time job delivering food boxes to people who are hurting and struggling and need to feel his love, I would take it in a heart beat.
I know that this is what I was meant to do, to be his hands and feet.
JESUS, you are beautiful!
