(Acts 11:29 NIV) I was astonished to learn about this "community pantry" that is continually spreading throughout the country like a wildfire. It was initiated by an ordinary woman with the aim to help others specially the lesser ones in their daily subsistence. And lo, her beautiful deed inspired the hearts of the people and her example has multiplied in every corner of the nation. The act has touched the hearts of those who are fortunate to share their bounty so that this project will flourish. The said "community pantry" is directed with the reminder: "Magbigay ayon sa kakayahan. Kumuha batay sa pangangailangan." (Give according to what you're capable of. Get according to what you need.) This is something good that has sprung amidst this present crisis. Group of people are beginning to be conscientious to the needs of their fellow men. This is how we should think and do to lift each other in times of need. The early group of Christians practiced this "common good" long time ago as was exemplified in the book of the Acts of the Apostles. Jesus himself has reminded us that " It is more blessed to give than to receive." Nevertheless, not everyone is pleased by the idea and smeared some malicious intent upon the initiator. But then, I believe that the good shall always thriumph despite of. Kudos to this goodness that is spreading nationwide. Let us prefer the good of our fellows at all times. Have a meritorious Thursday friends and Noisers.๐ ๐ธ I just found out that a certain family has already started the same "community pantry" here in our town. Here are some snaps of which. I would like to thank the owner.๐ #vrthoughts #communitypantry

Bless you all, beautiful souls.
It sad to know that some people don't appreciate the good deed of Patricia , the woman behind this Community Pantry. Instead of supporting and be a good Samaritan also they have destructive criticism against Patricia. Really sad๐
Yes Zoe kakagigil. Imbis na ipromote nila yung magandang ehemplo paparatangan pa ng masama.
Indeed, God bless these kind, generous and loving people. Let us not lose our humanity specially during this time. Thank God for them. More blessings to them Lord๐๐๐
