The Lord Provides....
The Lord Blesses...
The Lord meets us right where we are...


And our family was hungry!

And our family can't afford lots of food right now...

And our family is creative with the gifts we receive so this will go along ways!
And our family shares it's gifts...
this is what is left AFTER we shared with three other families!
Thank You LORD!!

Many people ask me all of the time how I manage to feed our family of 4 and sometimes 6 on just $100.00 a month, on really prosperous months $150.00 is the max.
This is how... the Lord blesses us with FREE FOOD....
All the time....
And usually right when we need it most!
Are you in a hard spot? Do you want to make you $$ count more than it does right now? Check out the surplus food programs in your area! A friend of mine supplies us with tons of food each month free of charge, because it is surplus. The grocery stores give it to him to dispose of, as long as he does not disclose to the recipients where it came from! (They don't want sued if something is bad, but I understand that in this society) It is truly a blessing to our family! The other program that we use is Harvest Bag in our area. We get a bag of produce and a bag of bread each week for a donation of any amount, even 0 on bad weeks! I don't know where we would be without these wonderful blessings to our family. I know that the Lord is behind it all since we tend to end up with what we really need right when we really need it!
How do you make things work creatively in your family?
Blessing!

Oooh I see banana bread happening soon!

I really wish FISH would give us more veggies. I'm lucky if I get potatoes with eyes or limp celery... or rather if I get any veggies at all. So glad you were blessed G... you deserve LOTS of blessings! :o)
