My Wife Has Some Great Ideas

My wife has some great ideas. Let me share one with you. Each week when Barb goes grocery shopping, she has developed the habit of thinking about those who are less fortunate. As she is putting things in her grocery cart she asks herself the question: What is one or two things that our family needs that someone less fortunate might need as well?

Instead of buying just for us she will buy extra. For example, this week we may need a box of cereal and tomato soup. She will put an extra box of cereal in the cart and a few cans of soup. When she gets home, we have a place in our entry closet where she will put these items and after 3 or 4 weeks she will bring them with her to church and put them in the grocery cart in our CPC foyer.

Right now the shelves in our Food Bank Pantry at CPC are almost empty. This Sunday, Mothers Day would be a great week to bring some non-perishable grocery items and at the same time help others. If Barb's idea could be multiplied by 100 CPC households, it would make a huge difference. Think about it.

'A generous person will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.' Proverbs 22:9

Thank you to Bekah Davis for helping oversee this ministry.
