Mondays in Edgewood

When the school year ended in May, I started going to Edgewood every Monday.  Edgewood is a small community on the west side of San Antonio that has many, many families who struggle financially.  Our church has developed relationships with about 100 families, mostly elderly, and we deliver bread each week to their homes.

It has been so wonderful to be a part of this community.  I love that we go into the homes, sit and visit with them, and sometimes pray over any needs they share.  I don't think it would be as effective or meaningful if we just had a bread pick-up location.

The families got to watch my belly grow as I got closer and closer to my due date, and now Cole is a huge blessing to them! One family calls him "Jaulito" (spelling??) ... they told me it means "blondie." haha! I partner up with my friend Lindsay.  She has a three year old, so we are always changing up things to be flexible with the tantrums, hunger demands, nap times, car seat shuffling, etc.  But so worth it!  I love our conversation and time together.

Every week my heart is so challenged. But I feel like it is such a great opportunity to love the least, and carry out this command.
