Saturday
Peter sings,
“From a raindrop to a river
from one lonesome word a song
Source of all gifts,
Friend and forgiver
Bring us together,
Pass it on”
Here’s something to think about this Christmas as you participate in the story of Christmas. When you go to the grocery store be sure to pick up some extra canned goods (be sure also to pay for them) and then take them to church or a local agency. If you are thinking about what you need to pick-up, why not get some canned fruit? Our good friends at Metro CareRing www.metrocarering.org have a list of items that are always needed: Here is their TOP TEN LIST!
1. Hearty Soup (Meat or Vegetarian)
2. Canned Meat (Tuna, Chili, Chicken or Ham)
3. Canned Cooked Beans (pinto, black, refried)
4. Peanut Butter
5. Canned Mixed Vegetables
6. Canned Fruit
7. Canned Tomatoes
8. Whole grain pasta
9. Pasta Sauce
10. Diapers
You might be saying to yourself, “self, what does my one can or half dozen of cans mean among so much hunger and need?” Well, check this out. The following story is in all FOUR gospels, Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:31-44; Luke 9:10-17; and John 6:5-15. There was a young boy with five pieces of sushi and two bagels. Jesus received his offering and fed more than 5,000 people.
Peter sings about this miracle,
“From a raindrop to a river
from one lonesome word a song
Source of all gifts,
Friend and forgiver
Bring us together,
Pass it on”
We CAN DO it! PASS IT ON!
Joyfully,
