Our church works a lot with people with food insecurities (too poor not to be hungry in America). There was a time a couple of years back when the Federal Food Stamp program was delayed. My wife found out that grandma and grandpa and sometimes mom went without food so the working men and children could have it.
She put out word to the community who not only responded to this one-time need but also devoted plots in their home gardens and farms devoted to raising crops on an ongoing basis. All the churches in the neighborhood, regardless of denomination responded.
Some people would call this nice people helping out their neighbors. But I put it on par with the miracle of the multiplication of loaves and fishes.
Just because you can explain it, doesn’t mean it’s not a miracle.
Good managers get work done through people. God is a good manager.
It was a smart move by the Great Pumpkin to buy the Halloween franchise. Otherwise I’m afraid a lot of his children would have been left lying in the field.

He should give some to farm animals. They’re healthy and a nice treat for them.
Mom made pumpkin cookies back in the day.

Looks like Francis and Gabby will be making a lot of trips to the local food kitchens.

Some 45 years ago, I was told the pumpkins sold for Halloween displays don’t make good pies. Good pies mostly come from smaller pumpkins.

All the old pumpkins in our neighborhood end up in my compost heap. The earthworms love it.
