What More Can I Do?

First of all let me ask you to forgive my blurry pictures.
I took pictures of pictures.
Second, this is not a typical Easter story,
yet to me, this is what it is all about.

One of our Pastors mentioned in a sermon about the hungry
children in the world going to bed at night with no food to eat and he mentioned how
blessed he was, to be able to  feed his children.

At our church we have a food bank called "The Share Baskets".
It is totally funded by our local Church members.

This little 8 year old boy was sitting next to his mother and listening to
the Preacher and he started crying.
  She just thought that his Dad had scolded him for something.
After church, Josh told his parents that he wanted to talk to them.
He said, "Daddy, I didn't know there were hungry children.  What can I do?"

His Daddy told him, "Josh, do you remember the last deer we killed?
We donated it to the hungry."
Josh said, "But Daddy, WHAT MORE CAN I DO?"
They told him about the food bank at church and how it feeds the hungry.
Then he asked,"Could I donate some food?"
His Daddy explained how you can also donate money and they will go and buy the groceries.



Josh then went to his brothers and sisters and asked if they would help him by donating
their savings from their allowance.  Then his Mom & Dad told them that they would donate too.
They all put their money together and went shopping for groceries.



The next Wednesday night, these children not only donated their money,
but took their time to shop and then unload and stock the shelves in our food pantry at Church.

There are several  that work in the "Share Baskets".
We were all touched as we watched the excitement of these little children
helping to feed the hungry.

This is a real story in my church.
We are so proud of these children.
We were all so touched by watching these little children
and hearing the story from the parents.

Thank you to the family of Bruce & Angela G. and their children,
Josh, Jacob, Jordan, & Jenna for this true and compelling story of compassion.

We have some slogans in our food bank that we use all the time.
Remember to share with us as we share with others.
&
Alone we can do a little, but together we can do a lot.
Now we have another one......
What more can I do?

Today I am thankful for..........the heart of a child.

But Jesus called them and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.



HE IS RISEN!
