Love Bags

Love Bags

Have you noticed that there are more homeless people with signs, begging on the side of the road, or at the off ramp of the highway?

I know a lot of people are really busy and it's hard to take time to go out and do any sort of volunteer work or missions.  Or maybe it's just a little out of your comfort zone.  We'll here is an easy way to help someone in need, show them you care, and it takes mere minutes.


How to make a Love Bag (taken from the "Love Bag" website):

It’s Simple!

All of the items in a LoveBag can easily be found at your local grocery store, or even online too.  Scroll down to see what to do.  Oh, and don’t forget about our iPhone app (for when you’re staring at an empty shopping cart trying to remember if you’ve got everything)!

It’s ok to be creative too.  If it’s cold, maybe some hot chocolate or some hand warmers.  And, a personal note, just to say you care, sometimes means the most.

 These are some extra snack I had in my pantry that I will not be able to consume before they expire. So why not share the over abundance that God has blessed me with, with someone who has nothing?  It's all God's anyway- and it's better served in someone's stomach than in my garbage can in a few weeks. Do not however put in stale old snacks.  If you wouldn't eat it, you shouldn't expect someone else to.

 I divided up the snacks into sandwich sized zip lock bags and then put a few snacks into a larger gallon size bag.

 Put all the Love Bags into a bigger bag and keep it in my car for whenever I pass by someone that needs something to eat.

So, there. An easy way to share the love of Christ and all you have to do now is roll down your window :O)  And you're not giving them money to support their not-so-healthy habits.
