This morning on the way to pick up our groceries I listened to my inner voice. What I heard was pick up some food for the blessing box. Who am I to deny that voice? So I parked at Wal-Mart and bought some groceries. I only spent $26.00. Picked up quick and easy foods. Such as pasta and spaghetti sauce, ramen noodles, tuna pouches, box of tea bags, bread, 2 individual cereals, 2 green beans, 2 corn, 2 cans of raviolis, and hot dog sauce.
This is the box before I put in my food. It needed a little help as you can see. I tend to forget about the blessing boxes we have around town. The one I normally go to is near the high school. My next paycheck I plan on putting together 4 gallon size ziplock bags with contents for a simple meal. Such as spaghetti or chicken Alfredo. Of course I think another loaf of bread and more ramen noodles just in case the boy comes back. God has blessed me over and over. Am greatly thankful that make I helped out someone else.
This is after I loaded my food into box. Minus a loaf of bread. A young boy maybe 7 or 8 years old came up and asked what I was doing. I told him putting a few items into box. He then said my momma needs a loaf of bread. Well here you go as I handed him the loaf of bread and a plastic Wal-Mart sack. Just to let you know I never buy bread for the boxes but this morning again I listened to that voice and got the bread. The young boy seen the ramen noodles and stated 5hey were his favorite. What I will say about our encounter is it was meant to be. I snapped my after photo and let him shop in the blessing box. For me just knowing I was able to bless this boy with a few items literally made my day.
