My list of books I want to read is growing because of your suggestions. I'm going to inter-library loan Animal Vegetable Miracle. I like Kingsolver's writing, anyway, and this is a compelling topic to me.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for visiting my blog; I find yours inspiring!*carrie*https://www.blogger.com/profile/10545859613596796648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-47079422370577776262007-06-03T22:56:00.000-05:002007-06-03T22:56:00.000-05:00That reminds me of a passage from Edith Schaeffer'...That reminds me of a passage from Edith Schaeffer's Hidden Art of Homemaking. Back in the days of regular hoboes she used to make up a nice tray, complete with a pretty flower or other small centerpiece item and a small copy of John and serve it outside.Headmistress, zookeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071449326819510530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-45209896597073838382007-06-02T11:52:00.000-05:002007-06-02T11:52:00.000-05:00What a kind thing to do.

(thank goodness) We live very close to the Texas Baptist Children's Home. That is where the homeless people go to get a meal around here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-76469980802592637432007-06-02T11:05:00.000-05:002007-06-02T11:05:00.000-05:00What a caring gesture!

After an American family moved out and tossed many of their possessions in a dumpster, the adults and kids went "dumpster diving" for the toys and furniture. When we moved out a few months later, I held a "free garage sale" to give away our unwanted items to the other residents. I couldn't stand the idea of the kids climbing in the filthy dumpsters to retrieve our things after we left. Everything quickly found a grateful new owner, even our old mattresses and a card table. I found out later that some neighbors had been eating on cardboard boxes and sleeping on the floor because they couldn't even afford Goodwill yet. That was the best "garage sale" we ever held.
