Priceless

Every month on the fourth Saturday, our family works at the food pantry at our church called Manna. There we hand out donated food to local families in need. We purchase enough food to feed several families before we go since it's the end of the month and the shelves are usually bare. Ever since Princess TD was little, I have had her help pick out some of the food we take based on the list that we provide each family. Her favorite thing has always been the Campbell's character soups, usually Dora. I have continued that tradition with Little TD and he has been picking the Campbell's "Cars" soup to donate. There are many great lessons they learn in the store, how to count the number of each item, finding the items and best of all, giving to others who are not as blessed as we are.

This past week, Princess TD was studying about the Israelites leaving Egypt through the Red Sea and their wandering in the wilderness. We read about Moses and how he asked God to provide food for the Israelites and how the prayer was answered with manna and quail. We studied some about quail and made a paper airplane quail. At the end of the lesson, I asked the following question:

Me: What did God provide to the Israelites to eat?

Little TD: Cars soup!

Priceless!!!
