388 Brown Bags & 8,000 pounds later…
Tuesday, November 23, 2010
More love, more life! This is the best way to describe our 250 Brown Bag love project. Our orginal project goal was to fill 250 bags with groceries to meet the needs of 50 high-need families in Loudoun County but our 250 Brown Bags turned into 388 bags because of the tremendous generosity of Common Ground Church and the community. Because of the overwhelming amount of food collected we were able to help well over 50 families. The life brought about by this amazing love was tangible as each family received at minimum one turkey, thanks to Madigan Construction, and six bags of groceries including a Thanksgiving bag filled with mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, etc. However, these families received way more than food, they received hope, comfort, and encouragement. For me the life that comes from love was seen in the teary eyes of the first man I brought food to who didn’t speak English, felt in the hug and tears of a grandmother who is raising a down syndrome grandson alone while battling cancer, seen in the smile of a woman who said her family had just had their power turned back on, and heard in the story of a man who had recently become unemployeed. Believe me when I tell you love brought life to these families. Of course this is just my story. Each person who helped deliver the food could tell their own stories. This project, the life that these families received, did not happen by accident. This happened because a community of people chose to lay down their lives. It happened because people believed in the transforming reality of love. For two months I’ve seen and heard stories of people who gave themselves to make this project a reality. There were those who gathered to dream and plan, others who organized the collection of food in their neighborhoods, business’s, and sports teams, those who stood for hours at a local grocery store, young people who went door to door, those who sorted and boxed the food, the well over 100 people who gathered at the packing party to fill bags for delivery, and those who spent hours walking house to house delivering food. More love, more life. To all who played a part THANK YOU! Jesus, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your plan to bring life to the world. Your name was made famous. You were made famous through the hands and feet of your people who have felt and know the love you gave them. Now on to greater love…

I guess that to get the credit loans from banks you must present a firm motivation. But, once I’ve received a college loan, just because I wanted to buy a house.
