Helping Others

In this very difficult economic time, we have been amazed and left speechless at the blessings given to us by our family and friends. Because of that I feel compelled to write about a couple who gives selflessly and with faith not often seen. They don't know that I am writing this, so I hope it is OK. Their names are Mary and Wayne Lopusnak and they run a thrift store, outreach and ministry called His Storehouse Outreach in Zephyrhills, FL. It isn't big, but it does BIG things!! They started out collecting food and toys for the holidays, and now have gone WAY beyond that. They are the most humble and quiet people you would ever meet. Actually, I didn't realize what all they were doing until I visited their website www.hisstorehouseoutreach.org They do so much for our community day to day. They have over 400 hungry and needy families who need food for the holidays and Mary's answer was, "I know we'll get what we need." What faith!!! And it does happen EVERY YEAR! I love these people and I love what they do, but I'm not asking that everyone necessarily help them. I am asking that if you can, find a place in your community that helps people and that you are sure where your donations are going and what they are doing with the donations. These people can make a small donation go a long way because they aren't paying a bunch of executives to sit behind desks. They do it all themselves! They may not be easy to find because they don't toot their own horns. For that reason, I'm writing and trying to get the word out. Thanks for all y'all have done for us!! Love, Shannon and Robert
