Food!

It's awesome to see people give so much. I got to go down to a local business to pick up a car load full of gourmet food yesterday. The business was...a horse auction? Yep, that's right. Apparently this giant place has like 5 auctions a year and they must have given us 400 pounds of food. Salmon, chicken, ribs, bbq beef, pasta, rice, vegetables. It was a sight to behold for the guys as I pulled up late last night in front of the fellowship hall door. Normally they aren't there at night but because of the cold temps we were letting folks stay inside the fellowship hall. They couldn't believe all of the food and the kind of food we got. This was all cooked food that could be frozen and heated up whenever we needed it. Normally, we get food from folks that is almost expired. Don't get me wrong, we're happy to receive it, but when we get this kind of food it is a special thing. I found out when I went to pick it up from the auction that one of the ladies working in the kitchen had been ministered to by OKC Compassion and wanted to give back! That's a pretty amazing thing and it is one of the great things to see in ministry. It's awesome to watch the guys in the kitchen. They decided that they were going to feed people three times a day over the next several days to make sure that the folks get the good stuff! Tomorrow's Sunday...better get to bed.
