http://www.icafoodshelf.org/index.html to help the less fortunate. It always reminds me of the times my family was in need & not necessarily on the great path we presently are on. I always told myself the time will come when I can repay in a way of giving back. If it's cans of food, clothing, blankets all those over excess of "things" I attach myself too, I have learned to let go & give. The other night while looking on our food shelf I was picking out cans for Emily to bring to school & I caught myself asking the question...What would a family want to eat...tomato paste, no...cans I haven't opened in months for a reason no, I went for the Ravioli's, yummy beans & vegetables & rice & pasta. Emily talked about the donation box in her class & was excited to bring it in because she said there wasn't much in her classes box.

Tomorrow night I am looking forward for to Breanna's Girl Scout Troop going to
http://www.hishousefoundation.com/news.asp?docID=29 to learn about what His House does & to bring the donations the troop has been collecting. I love that the troop will have their part in serving their community by providing direct services to families in need. Giving without expecting anything in return. That's what it's all about!
