It is a small verse of scripture today, with, perhaps, a big meaning, and a big challenge for us.
He will feed his flock like a shepherd.
Isaiah 40:11a
Today’s box came with a note from the creator:
My first thoughts when thinking about this scripture was food banks, especially because I volunteer weekly at the Nine Circles Community Health Centre food bank. I had also distributed a list of all the place to eat for free in Winnipeg to some of the clients there and I knew that this would be a great list to start with. The names glued throughout the box are the names of places where you can either get a free meal, or access to a food hamper.
I then wanted to represent people in all their colours and nationalities. I was going to glue these forms to the bottom of the box, but then thought of the Last Supper. So I glued these forms to a table being shared with Jesus.

Sharing food is sharing life. And, sharing life is sharing food. No one should be hungry. We are called to be people who care for one another.
We journey together.
