I gave at the office...

just won't cut it anymore. Today I volunteered my time and gas money to help shut ins. I arose at 530 to hear Joel and get my inspiration for the day. Then I was up and out to Culver City by 730 this morning. Me, the woman who never asked anyone for help, the one who is literally 30 days away from foreclosure unless I come up with $375 by this Friday, the woman who has her friends cooking food for her so she can pay to stay in her house and keep her car. YES, ME, I gave my time, skills and smiles to people who would gladly trade places with me. I love meeting people, people who are grateful and appreciative.

As I prepared the food I was to deliver later, I thought about how I, myself didn't have food at home to eat. There was excess this morning so I asked if could I take a meal home, they said sure, just pay $36 for it. I left that meal there. I finished delivering smiles, conversation and food then went on my way to the store and bought food for me and my dogs. Now I need $400 by Friday to keep me out of foreclosure.

I'm glad I got to participate in something more meaningful than my LITTLE problems. I'm adding four more people to my prayers today and I won't go hungry on this day.

Thank you God.
