    Default I am very fortunate

    Just wanted to share this.

    A friend of mine's church gives food to people in need. She asked me what I could use, I told her some meat, juice and canned fruit. I went to her house today to get what I figured would be a few things, I didn't want to take too much. There are people worse off than me.

    She told me she went shopping for my things herself. She gave me:

    a whole chicken
    bacon
    ground beef
    pork chops
    whole wheat crackers
    Oreos
    2 boxes of spaghetti noodles
    a box of elbow macaroni
    2 bottles of juice
    a loaf of wheat bread
    a loaf of French bread
    a jar of Dole naturals
    2 four- packs of Dole fruit
    a can of pineapple

    And she kept trying to give me more stuff!

    It is a blessing to have friends like her.

    What a blessing Nerdy. And you'll pay it forward so accept it while you need it.
