CROP Walk Update

I'm truly excited about this weekend's walk to help those in need.  First, I want to say a HUGE thank you to those who have shown your support both financially and through prayer.  I have already been blessed in anticipation of this event, though that may sound silly to you.  It is amazing to have others' support for this walk and for the fight against hunger.
I invite you to pause a moment and consider our blessings...
I have something to eat anytime my stomach growls. I don't worry about whether or not the food I eat is contaminated in any way, nor do I worry about whether or not there will be a next meal.  In fact, both at home and out to eat there is often excess on my plate.  Without feeling a true hunger pain, the majority of the time I know I fail to truly appreciate the blessing of having such nourishment.  While we bless the food and thank the Lord for it, I know I still take my full pantry for granted.  I hope that through this walk and future participation with Second Harvest that I may in some small way help make a difference in the lives of others...and that I may not take what I have for granted.  
Finally...I want to let you know that I am only $85 away from reaching my goal for the weekend! Thank you for your support and prayers!  It means more than you know!
