MUST Lunches

Monday is the first time this summer that our Church is helping MUST Ministries provide lunches to kids who need them (who would normally have school provide it.)  There is usually 3 throughout the summer.  I signed up to bring in 50 baggies of baby carrots this weekend.  Then the other day I got an email from the coordinator that they need more brought in.  Since it is a holiday weekend, people are probably not around.  So I told her I would also bring in 50 juice boxes.  Whew!  It feels good to give kids the food they need.

Facebook Fun

My aunt Vivi has been on my mind so I sent her a message that I love her.  I also have been praying for one of my college roommates.  Her husband may have a chance at a job across the country, so she asked that we pray about their decision.  I just sent her a message to tell her I have been praying and to see how things are.

Some Witty Phrase

I decided to write a note to one of Mom's friends.  Her son and daughter-in-law just had their second child. So I took the time to tell her congratulations.  (Well, it has been a while, but better late than never!) 

One Last Treat

Today I made cookies and took them to the teachers and staff at Lauren's preschool.  Tomorrow is the last day of school, and Lauren has had a wonderful year.  I included a general thank you note for their hard work.  I think a good preschool base really paves the way for the future!

A Listening Ear

While at the gym today, I had on my headphones and was content to watch TV.  The elderly gentleman next to me kept trying to talk to me (and when I say talk I really mean shout).  At first I politely answered his questions and went on. Then after awhile, I left them off and listened to him.  He told me about his great granddaughter and what he does for a living.  It wasn't what I wanted to do, but I could spare a few minutes from the Doctors TV show!

Done by 9 AM!

This morning I had some nice quiet time!  I wrote a letter to someone who has had a big impact on my life.  Sometimes we assume people know how we feel, but even if they do, reminders are great!  An email would have worked, but having it on paper means much more.  Does that make me sound old?

Early Birthday Present

So today James brought home a gift card that he won and gave to me for Amazon.  I suppose I could think of something to do with it myself, but God has other plans.  See, I have a friend who has struggled for years to tithe a full 10% and she finally was able to let go and do it.  I know how hard it is to be on one income with kids and give that money.  When James and I decided to give God the first money of each paycheck, it really blessed us.  Doing so was second nature to me, but not to James.  Anyways, once this friend started tithing regularly, I felt God wanting to use me to bless her for it.  We talked a while back about how she would like a Kindle.  I told God if He wanted me to help her get one, He would have to let me know.  When this gift card fell in my lap, I knew!
