Forever Fed

A few weekends ago, our team had the privilege to spend the day together on a mini-retreat/planning session.  As a part of our time together, we participated in a service project to help an organization in the Atlanta area called Forever Fed - a mobile food ministry whose aim is to simply feed the hungry.  Our job was to help them prep the food for the event that evening - feeding a crowd of around 150.  We peeled and chopped, washed and mixed.  We were responsible for sweet potatoes, bread, salads and drinks.  They have the prep down to a science and after a couple of hours we were done! 
Potatoes...

...potatoes...

...and MORE potatoes!!

Manning the drink station... a manly activity!

Listening to their stance on serving healthy food and not just leftovers was a sweet picture of care that our Savior shows us.  Just because we HAVE less doesn't mean we ARE less.

Listening to their story was inspiring and a reminder that can take our visions and blow them out of the water.  He is bigger than all of us.  He can use each of us.  We just have to be willing to listen to His call.
