Loaves and fishes...Or Hotdogs and chips for all...

I have been away from the 'puter for awhile. I was on vacation..Yeh for vacation.
While on vacation, I was blessed to be a part of a wonderful ministry my daughter does in downtown Austin. I know most of you who read this know all about it...but I just need to hear myself say these things out loud. I was expecting to go and be a blessing, but ended up being blessed in so many ways. I saw my grandgirls serve and smile without reservations. I saw my children serving in ways I once only dreamed. I saw thankful people enjoying the chance to choose a soda or chips...things I so take for granted. It is hard to explain with mere words, what is so felt in my heart.. I still get weepy thinking of them. GOD is so amazing..He takes what little we can do ADD it to the BIG HE can do and comes up with AWESOME... yeh, yeh I know HE could do it alone, but I am so thankful HE blesses us by letting us be a part of HIS plan. We had EXACTLY the right amount of donations to buy the food and drinks for 250 and that is the number of people we fed. HE supplied (thru willing hands) exactly what we needed. I was hoping to have some seed $ for next month..and HE reminded me that HE is our supply and we are to gather enough for the day...DAILY bread...
Thank you to all who played a part in making this a special 4th for so many. My heart can not begin to say how grateful I am. This is an ongoing ministry. We will be going again on the 25th..on a smaller scale...We discovered hot dogs are easy and inexpensive...chips and sodas, not so much ..If you are interested in being a part of the next outreach contact me or Kristi...we would love to share the blessings. :)
