Blessing Bags

Okay, so I have this plastic tote in the back of my car.  I have had it for almost 14 years now.  It has held diapers, wipes, toilet paper, undies, changes of clothes and an emergency kit for all of those "oops" moments that you seem to encounter with babies and young children.  It has been shuffeled from vehicle to vehicle as we have had to trade up in size.  Now that we don't need any of those things Jeremy thought it was time that I got rid of it.  Somehow I thought it might still come in handy.  I cleaned it out today and instead of taking it out of the vehicle I replaced its contents.  This time hopefully it will come in handy for someone else and not just us.


Today Brogan and I decorated some bags...

Then filled them with some food and drink items and added a little note...

All ready to go...

Our "Blessing Bags".  Bags that are filled with some of the extras that we have.  Bags that we will give to someone that doesn't have the extras that we do.  Now, next time we encounter someone living on the streets, begging for food, hitchhiking down the road we can stop and give them something.  Something that they may need, want or be indifferent to.  Something that might just be the one thing they needed for that day.  These bags have filled the space in that tote for just the time that they are needed.
