It’s not as much fun at Mercy alone
Day 76 - Aug 25
I spent an hour and a half at Mercy Ministry tonight. There was a miscommunication and a LifeGroup was supposed to meet me there, but no one came. I was there alone and called the Director to let her know. She let me know I could do as much as I could and I tried to get as much ready as I could in that amount of time. It was a busy evening - good hard work. The only downside was near the end when I dropped a case of tomato cans on my toe and turned my nail blue. It will be fun if it falls off in a few weeks.
I know a few families were fed with the groceries I bagged. But I hadn’t realized until I was there alone just how much work goes into running the food pantry and getting everything ready. Once again my respect for the ladies who run Mercy was increased.
