So, I know that I just finished writing a post last night but I had another thright during a church activity today. Today my family and I had to opportunity to make almost 1000 apple pies for the Medicine Hat Food Bank. I spent the hours from 9 till about noon rolling out pie dough. I always how much fun serving in that capacity is. Most people would find it drudgery rolling out that many pies, but I had so much fun doing it. Talking and catching up with people that I have not seen in awhile.
I was honored to be able to help those in need in Medicine Hat area. I thought to myself today how a simple act of rolling out dough could mean so much to someone. My pie could help someone who has nothing else to eat.
I think we forget how a small act of service like making a pie could mean to a family that is struggling to make ends meet. My husband and I may not be well off, but we have never been wanting for food. We have never had to beg for our bread. We have been lucky and blessed immensely. I know those blessings are coming from our Father in Heaven. We have faithfully paid our tithing and fast offerings. I know that it is because of our recognizing Heavenly Father and giving him thanks for everything he has given us is why we are doing so well. We may not have a lot things but we do have enough for our needs.
I now that this is not a long post but it was one that was deeply on my mind.
