What a difference a day makes!

Going in to Sunday, we were waaay short on the school supplies that we needed for the backpack/supplies giveaway week. Kids and their parents have signed up for during No Hunger Summer since we opened operations earlier this summer. And they have signed up in record numbers!

As I looked out at our local assembly Sunday morning, I wonderered how we could meet the amount of goods needed to send these students back to school (and yes, we are close enough to the academic year that I can use the word "school" without offending children and teachers).

Then Monday morning happened.

Betty Ann and the ladies took another inventory of what we have, and most of those categories of need had disappeared - those needs had been completely provided!

As we took a break from No Hunger Summer today (because we ran out of food), it gave me an opportunity to pause and give praise to God (alone) for meeting the needs of this church and the needs of the families in our ministry area!

Soli Deo Gloria!!

(pictured are the remaining needs we have. We will pack these up next week and hand them out the week thereafter. First day of school in 19 AUG 25!)
