A Loaf A Day













I have been distributing 9 loaves of bread and milk on a Monday for a few weeks now. But only on the Monday.

In Honor of My Late Husband

Today was my husbands 2 month memorial and the family came over to help me. We cooked a pot of food to feed 30 random needy souls. Blessings all around.

These activities helped ease the heartache of my husbands loss a little. The blessings from the recipients of the food was precious, my husband was surely smiling down at us with pride and peace.
