The Blessing Bag

I just finished the idea that I got while at City Lights over Spring break as I mentioned in a previous post. It's called the Blessing Bag, which if you click you can read about the idea. Anyway it was one of the girl's ideas when she was 6. A way to bless those around you and I thought it was really cool and wanted to do it here in Des Moines. So today after work I went to Target and Walmart and shopped around for the best deals on foods and such to put in my bag.

I got some water and apple juice

 Some granola bars

Some fruit snacks

Tuna and crackers

Fruit cup

Soup

and of course a couple spoons

All in a resusable bag

Here are the 4 bags that I made....

Also I didn't mean for these to all be Walmart brand and a walmart promotion, but that was the cheapest products for my money so that's what I went with. I will probably add some sort of note to them as well. The idea from the blog is "We Hope This Bag is  Blessing From Our Family to You" I might do something similar such as I hope this is a blessing or something similar. I'm not quite sure that's the last thing I'll figure out. I'm planning on praying over them tomorrow for the people that will receive these 4 bags-hopefully they will truly bless them. I will also pray that I will have the opportunity to give these bags to people that really need the contents. 

*In other random news in my life since I haven't blogged in about a week. I just participated in the largest pie fight. We had that on campus as a part of our Drake Dogtown After Hours celebration. I really didn't want to participate, but then did and it was a lot of fun. A little gross, but overall good. I still think I enjoy streetpainting and having paint all over my body rather than pie. [even though the pie is much easier to get out] Now I'm headed to bed and tomorrow is Sand Volleyball, which I might be helping ref so we'll see how that goes.
