And it's all year. Like you, I feel so fortunate to have what I have. . .there but for the grace. . .<br /><br />I'll have my "giving" post up later in the week. Right now I've got a little dog silliness up that I wanted to keep on top of blog for a few days.Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227397761350236459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295383474111172709.post-1923917149856187832009-12-01T02:29:48.763-08:002009-12-01T02:29:48.763-08:00Meals on Wheels is a wonderful thing!

I was doing it tough at the time financially but I was just managing.<br /><br />The local Church had put together these wonderful (and large) baskets, full of foods and treats and other goodies and they gave me one. <br /><br />It was so humbling that so many generous people had contributed money and time to put these together to give out. <br /><br />I really enjoyed your post, especially because it reminded me of a gift I once received.wendishnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10047127677267754194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295383474111172709.post-42171075319969144742009-11-30T07:12:17.347-08:002009-11-30T07:12:17.347-08:00Very nce post.
