porridge and giving....

Just a little post today ...

This is what the BBC recently shared about people who live on the bread line in the UK - some great stories. My particular favourite is the girl who has porridge week once a month - 99p for 500g of porridge which she eats for breakfast, lunch and dinner at the end of the month when the money has run out! But, she goes on 'Come pay day, me and my friends are back out on the town'....

Food for thought. Or maybe that should be porridge for thought.

And by the way, thank you again to all those of you who have sponsored me for last week's eating. You have wowed me - I am now at nearly twice what I aimed to raise! And also, by the way, giving is a great way to bless, and then be blessed in return. Try it - give things away - money, cake, things you have too much of, things you really love... you'll be surprised at how great you feel, seeing someone else benefit from what you have. And, if you're a believer in God (as I am), he will demonstrate to you  that he can give you way more than you can ever give away. Try it.
