Oak Hills Church has been such a blessing to Bill and I. We were able to combine our faiths together and find a place that fits our needs. They began a big Food Pak Campaign. It is to fill a box of food that will feed a family of four for a whole week. Bill went a little crazy and got four boxes. The church's goal is to fill 10,000 boxes and deliver them to families in San Antonio, We are at the 8,000 mark. So I was feeling the pressures that we were the ones holding us back from our goal. Max told us it would take about 25.00 to fill a box. We had been procrastinating for three months to get our boxes back to the church.
But today was our day. Bill and I headed to the new HEB Plus and had a blast. We picked out all sorts of goodies. Well I don't know about goodies but we got a family or two or three or four set up to feed their bellies for a week. It felt so good.
I was filling the cart while Bill was checking the list to make sure we were following the instructions.
And at the check out counter..... 78.25 was our total. It only cost us 19.50 per family to feed for a week. Wow it made me think about how much we spend on food in a week. We are so blessed but also I am sure there are some things that we can do without.
All is all it was a wonderful experience. We are waiting for Roy to come and he and Gavin can pack the boxes up and we will go out to church on Sunday morning and turn them in. Nothing like waiting til the last day!
