I need to write you a long note or call you maybe. Are you ready to hear the latest?<br /><br />Sandy ~ I posted pictures of the lunches content but we will need to do some revising as you will see. As for budget, we haven't really worked one out. We just ran with it, at this point anyway. Butts and Ashes came about from caregiving. If you read my very first post it explains the whole name thing. So glad you stopped by.

She knows where many live (under bridges) and in back area's won't the police haven't bothered them and delivers to them there. Her hubby went once; but doesn't join her in her delivers. He does support her efforts, just says it's not for him. <br /><br />We all can help in some way, it's up to each of us to find that way and do what we can.<br /><br />What are in your lunches? I'm still looking for your budget list to read; but need to get to work.<br /><br />Curious to know why you named your blog as you did. Truthfully I doubt I would have stopped to read it, had Lily not suggested it.<br /><br />SandySandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098515874635881752.post-74872819052993620062009-12-08T22:58:25.970-08:002009-12-08T22:58:25.970-08:00"It is one of the most beautiful compensation..."It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself."<br />Ralph Waldo Emerson<br /><br />As we have discussed before, we are generally more blessed than those that we are helping.

For those of you who don't know me, I am the other daughter-in-law, and you need to know that this lady is the real deal! Perfect? No. Genuine? More than anyone else I know! As for my father-in-law, well, he's wonderful as you can all see! I am such a blessed woman to have them in my life. They have taught me more about the Lord, love, marriage, and serving Christ from just watching the way they live and love and serve than they could possibly realize. They are amazing teachers! I am so blessed to be counted among their own! Just thought you all should know! I love you, Nona!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577362964359155443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098515874635881752.post-4657195192187564542009-12-08T12:50:55.609-08:002009-12-08T12:50:55.609-08:00JP ~ I am about as wonderful as a tick on a hound ...JP ~ I am about as wonderful as a tick on a hound but you are absolutely right about my husband. :-)<br /><br />Parsley ~ Can't wait to read your lists.

Can't wait to see what your hubby does next...<br /><br />My hubby was talking to the director of a homeless church/kitchen about our fresh corn-on-the-cob when she pointed out that a lot of their guests have no teeth, or at least not good teeth. So yeah, bananas would be a better choice.<br /><br />I hope that those reading your blog will be inspired to do some simple act to show God's love to those in need.Lillian Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488638666900705015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098515874635881752.post-42889145979607783162009-12-08T08:50:03.413-08:002009-12-08T08:50:03.413-08:00What a great story.
