Kären, it’s better than any math I’ve ever done!

Kären, you’re so right. And the food bank claims that for every dollar people donate, they can buy $9 worth of food. How’s that for multiplication and feeding of the thousands?!

I was thinking as I was reading about the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand that Jesus performed. Two loaves of bread and a few little fish. So often in life we don’t think we have enough to share and yet when the disciples offered all they had to feed the crowd Jesus multiplied it. If all your readers could pull together $21 a week which is just $3 a day and send it to the food bank I would love to see how God would multiply that. Just a thought. (That’s less than a medium sized latte at Starbucks.)

Gayle, we totally could have talked longer! This was not a non-verbose group…for sure. It was such a wonderful experience to share our stories.

Genie, thanks again for sharing all your insights! It was incredibly powerful to step from the virtual world into the presence of the amazing women who lived the Hunger Challenge. I think we could have talked for another couple of hours, right?!
