Bountiful Blessings
(sm) is a charity called, developed
and nurtured by God. He laid out the format, and we, God’s servants
have followed. This program is founded on the Biblical principle
"I am my brother’s keeper."
Each recipient is required to give back volunteer
hours for receiving items. God instructs us to work so we may eat. So,
cheerfully, each recipient volunteers their time as a thank you for
what God has given them: a safe, positive, Christ-centered environment
offering items to fulfill their needs. "The Lord will
provide" is a verse I have repeated many times over, trusting in
Him that He will give this program all that it needs so that we may
offer His people what they need.
The families receiving and the volunteers (both
those who receive from the program and those who do not receive) have
developed a closeness that comes from working and supporting each
other to get through hard and difficult times. Together the volunteers
and the recipients have developed a bond, a friendship and a trust.
This program offers so much more than tangible items. Compassion,
love, care, concern, humbleness and a feeling that "God placed me
on this earth for a reason" are just a few of the benefits
enjoyed by both recipients and volunteers.
My prayer for this program and all of its future
sites is the Saint’s Prayer offered by Saint Francis of Assisi:
