I was at the store this week picking up one of our household staples and I started thinking about what a wonderful food peanut butter is. It's one of the few foods that I find really good and good for me - in moderation of course! Just a little bit is very filling and is a great source of protein, dietary fiber, and vitamins. In fact, it's a much more economical and environmentally friendly source of protein than animal meat. It also lasts for a while on a shelf. 

 

All of these factors (you can read more on Wikipedia) make peanut butter a great choice for food pantries. Yes, the price of peanut butter has gone up a bit in the past couple of years. However, for most reading this, a couple of jars is well within what we can afford and it could make a big difference in another's week. We have two more weeks of our CROS Food Drive. How many jars can we raise?

 

I hope you are all having a blessed week. I am looking forward to Sunday when we will continue to explore Jesus' upside down teaching about how we can have the best life possible. I'll be preaching on "First in Caring."
