A Purpose to Fill

What came from a seed, saw itself through sunny hot days, to unexpected cold spells, from too much or too little rain...what has fought so very hard to not only live but to thrive has a gift to give.

Can you begin to imagine the power in feeding the hungry....to be responsible for helping a child grow tall and strong, giving them the energy they need for all day long? How about seniors who live by barely scraping by...my gosh can you imagine how sweet it must be to fill their plates? What about the men and women who proudly serve our country...what an honor to give them nourishment.

What came forth from those little seeds, I can only imagine how it must feel so very happy knowing that it has blessed those who were able to enjoy the nourishment received....but what about all the waste, all that which was thrown away....the heavy sadness that must be felt of knowing it could have been on a plate...it could have been in a belly....

Thank God for the farmers who work so hard from sunup to sundown. In the land of plenty.... sadly there are plenty who do not have....

Lord, thank you for the food....bless it from the farmers to the tables....Please let all the food find its way to every soul so no one ever misses a meal.
