13. I'm really tired of folks judging others

If these folks don’t want their kids eating hamburger helper, chips, soda, whatever - then don’t buy it.

Don’t you dare shame people about what’s in their grocery carts.

Our Christian food pantry is in desperate need of

Canned Fruit
Canned Soup
Cereal
Jelly
Meat Helpers
Pasta Meals
Peanut Butter
Spaghetti Sauce


So Mrs Church Lady put it in your pipe and smoke it.

There’s nothing wrong with these food items because they provide badly needed CALORIES to folks who don’t get enough to eat.

Poor people don’t eat keto or organic food.They eat whatever that $20.00 bill will buy this week to feed their families. I’ll tell ya lots of them are very creative and can stretch a dollar in amazing ways I never thought about.

So Mrs Church Lady watch some YouTube videos on extreme budget meals.

Or better yet

14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Matthew 14:14-21
