Another amazing Thursday from start to finish!  We started out the day with approximately 30 volunteers showing up to help assemble the “happy meals”.  It warms my heart to see so many people that give of their time to put meals together for those less fortunate.  Most of our morning volunteers are not able to deliver the meals and never get to see the people who receive the meals but they love to put them together nevertheless.

We were able to use our second van that evening, smiley faces and all.  What a blessing that was!  Arriving Thursday night I was greeted with many new faces, all curious and eager to make a difference.  We were blessed with the youth group from Woodland Hills Church, a group of men from one of the Church Army recovery homes, a small group from First Baptist Forsyth, a couple of managers from Golden Corral, our trusted and faithful weekly volunteers and others that God led to help.  In total we had about 60 volunteers and delivered 330 meals.  It’s crazy to think that only 1 year ago we had only 3 of us and delivered 48 meals – God is so good!  If God keeps this up we might have to break off into a third route.  It was heartwarming to watch others get to experience the joy of giving.

We met a man at one of the hotels who has been playing guitar at one of our local restaurants for the past 7 years.  He feels as if God has led him to hand out bibles to those who stop and listen to him play.  He was sharing with one of the new volunteers about his need for a guitar and the volunteer offered to give him his own guitar that he no longer played.  What a true example of how Jesus wants us to live our lives.  I have lived most of my adult life knowing that God works miracles but now I get to witness them every week!  If you want to witness some yourself I invite you to *“Come and See”*. – Amy
