AWESOME DAY!

Today we had lots in the works at Community of Joy... a Free yardsale across the street from God's Kitchen on Church St.  Filled 9 tables piled high with good gently used clothing at 8 and by 10:30 we had one item left!

It is a lot of work, but I so love this blessing outreach!  Had a lady tell us today that "Before today, we were poor, now God through this, God has blessed us and we are rich."  Another told her daughter who was picking up lots of clothing... "Don't take it just because it is free, but because you need it... If you can't use it leave it here for someone else to use."   And two ladies wanted to make a donation.  We told them thanks but no thanks... just pass on the blessing!  God has blessed us to bless others... you can do that too!



And while that was going on outside, others from COJ were inside Grace United Methodist preparing to serve the people who come to God's Kitchen, usually upto 150 people.
