Standing in Line Today I will shop, for food. I will buy what is needed. Beans, rice, milk, eggs. These are…on the list. The magic of what can be made, with very little; flour, sugar… cookies, and bread. The things that make kids smile, that fill the emptiness, that lives in the middle. The box at the front, “Put items here”. for families, that know… what it is to fear, to be without. Be generous, as you can, for someone you know, is waiting. They would never ask, you, directly. There are feelings… pride maybe? Someone that needs, more than you. Trumped by desperation! Someone that has, less than you. Some one, that represents… many! When you are judged, you are saved by grace. But, He will remember, every face, that you fed, in His name. Leave none hungry. No. Not one.
