Angel Food - not the cake…

I was reading an email from a friend of mine about an organization called Angel Food Ministries, which helps provide groceries to needy families across the country. The website is Angel Food Ministries. It just might be a lifesaver for my friend, who is about to take on two foster kids into her home, and it looks like a pretty neat program. Anyway, I was leaving work on a lunch break and had stopped to get gas, when a woman tapped me on the shoulder. Middle 40’s maybe, with obviously a tough life behind her. And the first words out of her mouth were “excuse me ma’am, but do you know of any “angel” organizations that help provide food for families? I’m really down on my luck and could use some help.” Needless to say, between the man in the red truck who was filling up his tank next to me, the mother of a toddler in the yellow VW bug and I, she left with more than she came with. And she now has the website to use when she gets home. There are no coincidences….
