    Default My 50 Chickens

    I have recieved a huge blessing.

    I went to the truck stop to meet my ex and get a tiny piece of the child support that I almost had to beg to get. While I was there waiting for him to go to the ATM ( he just left me standing in the video game room for the better part of a half an hour) A man approached me and said that he was a driver for Walmart/Sam's Club and that he attempted to deliver a truck load of frozen chickens to Sam's and a whole pallet fell of and they refused the pallet. He said his dispatcher told him to dump it in the trash and head out to his next destination. Being a father of several children and understanding how expensive it is to feed a family, he was going to find someone to give them to.

    He gave me 5 cases, 10 per case of Tyson, rotissirie ready frozen chickens, Each box even had the lawry's rub, 1 1/4 lb each box. I put each chicken in a ziplock freezer bag and into my big freezer.

    My how God provides, especially when it looks bleakest. Two weeks ago I had to throw out almost my entire dry goods stockpile due to an pantry moth infestation, but now I have really been blessed...big time. This chicken will definately hold us until I go back to work in September. 

    I went to bed feeling so much better last night!

    That is wonderful Robin. Itsn't is great how God knows just what we need and how he provides for us when we least expect it? I am so happy for your blessing. Enjoy your yummy chickens.

    aww - how very nice. I love doing random acts of kindness (nothing on this level of course) and it's nice to hear someone actually recieve one.
    Enjoy the chickens!!!

    Sounds like you were in the right place at the right time. God sure works in mysterious ways!

    I am glad you received these chickens! Now you will have one less thing to worry about.

    Late congratulations on the chicken.

    What a ray of sunshine to know that some people out there don't agree with the hideous corporate policy of throwing away perfectly good food/items for no good reason.
