Today we went to Good Samaritan, a food pantry that is supported by local churches and other organizations. It is a beautiful cooperation over denominational lines living out what it means to love and serve those around you. This is a very special place.
When we arrived we were warmly greeted by two smiling faces that told us a little about what Good Samaritan does in the day-to-day. Then we quickly got to work! Some of us put together bags of frozen meats for distribution. Others unloaded food that had been donated. Others visited and encouraged the staff! One thing that will never stop amazing us is how the Lord shows up in every situation and task. So although we were doing easy jobs the building was filled with laughter, jokes, and personal stories. It was so evident that the Lord had placed us there for a reason.
Later on in the day, Good Samaritan received a call from a woman who was unable to leave her house due to a recent heart attack, but she was still in need of food. So the Director asked if we would be willing to stop by this woman’s house and drop off some food. Of course, we happily accepted! Through talking with this woman we learned that she only left her house 1 day a month and rarely if ever had visitors. We shared her information with a local church, so she can enjoy community again. It was so clear that the Lord had sent us to talk to her. We are eager to see to whom He’ll send us to next!
