We had to close down the requests for meal deliveries from my church yesterday. In NINE days only — we had requests for over — yes, I said, OVER 1500 meals to be delivered.

It is a difficult year for many this year. The flood of calls was unbelievable.

We have never shut down our calls so early in previous years — we could always go through Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Not this year.

I know when I go in this morning there will be many calls on the voicemail where they listened to the message and then hung up.

Count your blessings people. If you have food and a roof over your head and clothing and family you are blessed.

Is this a Parish thing? Where are you? Is there any way I can make a donation to help in time to get some more food out?

Thank you, so much, Salvation. I look forward to your posts every day. You are so right, too. There are so many having a hard time these days. We aren’t rich or even comfortable. But we have Him, and each other, and thus are we all blessed. I wish there was something I could do to help. I’ll pray for them. I am thankful for all of you, as well.
