I try to not pick up groceries more often than weekly. We were out of milk so I ordered some food for Friday. When we arrived none of the cold items were included because the freezer had been down overnight. I thought about going to Save A Lot but decided that we didn't actually need to get milk. We could get by until Monday, when I ordered another pick-up.
Saturday morning I got a call from a lady in the ward. She has previously given me extra food that she picked up from the food bank that was too big for older individuals, like 5 lbs of ground beef! Well this day she had a whole order including milk and sausage patties, some of the items I had on that order that didn't get delivered.
I think of the blessing it was that I didn't get those items so I had the room to accept the bounty. I think of the blessing that this friend thinks of me when she has food she doesn't need. I'm grateful that I have a reputation for being willing to take food and make use of it.
