Manna Ministries

Speaking of volunteers. What an impressive job these folks do. I was at the Bangor Mall a couple of times this past Christmas season and Bill Rae was out there at his booth meeting and greeting. He has become the face of Manna to the average person and he has built a wonderful program that just keeps getting bigger and bigger. While we can all hope that the day will come it does not keep needing to get bigger and bigger until that day comes they are doing God's work.

When I was at the mall one of those days my wife had wore me out and I was sitting on a bench behind the Manna station while she continued to shop. As I sat there i heard a Mom and her young son approach the booth and talk to Mr. Rae. A young boy approached and offered a bear that he had just had made at Build a Bear. He was about 4 or 5 and was very excited to give this toy to somebody who did not have as much. As I saw this happening I was glad i had sat down and was able to see it.

If we keep our eyes open their are good things happening around us. Everyday.
