So excited to announce that beginning this First Friday and then every pantry through the end of the growing season, our friends at Buurma Farms Inc, will be donating some of their locally grown, fresh produce to hand out to our friends! Isn’t God so faithful in the amazing partnerships He brings our way?This month we will have some radishes and greens adorning our produce table. We hope to see you at McGuan Park this Friday from 5:30pm until we run out.

Hey Lovers!!! Still in need of some help making dad bags to hand out at our June 5th First Friday pantry. I’m thinking 30 should be plenty. Easy things like socks, shaving cream, beef sticks, candy, etc, would be such a blessing and help to show our dads how important they are! Message if you’d like to help.

So far this year, our Walter’s Wheat pantry has provided 132 bags of groceries to struggling families served at our local crisis pregnancy center, Abigail Pregnancy Services. It’s not much, a few pantry staples and a roll of meat, but those 132 bags of groceries carry profound meaning for me. This pantry came about because of one of the darkest days of my life, the abortion I had as a 16 year old girl. This pantry helps me honor the memory of the son I didn’t choose. This pantry leads me closer to the heart of my Merciful Father through the continuing act of repentance. This pantry can be a reminder to all that you are never too dirty to be cleansed and never too lost to be found. Call on Him. Repent. There is a place prepared for you.

My dad used to tell stories about some of his Army buddies that didn’t make it out of Vietnam. One story I’ll always remember is the one where he was holding a dying man and the man looked up at him and said “Schroeder, your breath stinks”. My dad was drafted, as were many soldiers of that war. Young men, boys really, dying in a foreign country they had no desire to be in, fighting a war they didn’t start. And thus is war. Today we remember the fallen. The brave men and women who have sacrificed their lives so that we can continue to troll around on the socials, sipping our double shot, five pump, cold foam Starbucks lattes and have the FREEDOM to voice our opinions about everyone and everything. Lovers, enjoy your day off, grill some dogs and burgers, drink a beer, enjoy your friends and family, because that IS what these folks died for. Just remember that your freedom was not, and never will be, free.

It’s been silent on this page for a hot minute. Your girl has been busy doing ALL the spring time things. But, I had to pop on here right quick to remind my beautiful Lovers that Pizza in the Park will be starting back up beginning on June 3rd. This summer we are going to be feeding bellies with hot pizza, quenching thirst with cold water and changing hearts with little lessons on the fruits of the Spirit. It will be a blessed summer and I truly hope to serve you there!

Thank God for godly friends. Thank God for strong women. Thank God that a little weekend getaway can help soothe our minds and prepare us for the journey that lies ahead. Let’s do this!

The sun wasn’t shining as we served our precious Lovers tonight, but there was sunshine in every conversation, hug and prayer. We ran a little low on groceries by the end of the line but, praise God, everyone left with something. Once all the kids at the park heard there were Little Debbie’s up for grabs on the big, blue bus we went through them pretty quick. Hahaha! They were all so grateful. I loved every minute of tonight’s chaos. On this chilly, May evening we gave away 50 pounds of meet, 44 dozen eggs, hundreds of boxes of Little Debbie’s, lots of produce, 40 Mother’s Day gift bags, over 100 hot meals and a busload of Cinco de Mayo pantry items. What an overwhelmingly awesome evening. Special Cinco de Mother’s Day shoutouts to City of Norwalk Parks & Rec Department for use of the space, Be Strong Uniforms & Learning Center for the meals, Josh for the Little Debbie’s, Rick and Angela Strunk’s church group for the gifts and our amazing volunteers who give the gift of their time every single month. Until next month, Love Bus roll out.
