EDP Item #21: wasteful food items from pantry



Reason: our pantry has been driving us crazy, as does pretty much any clutter that makes life seem more chaotic. Every time we would try to find a space for something new other items
Would start to fall of the shelves. We had too much crammed in there and today it was time to finally do something.
Destination: we had hoped to do something that redeemed the situation of having so much excess food; like gathering up a bunch of stuff to donate to a food pantry,.... but all we found was our wastefulness. Rather than having a bunch of non-perishable items to donate, all we found was a bunch of perishable, stale and unusable rubbish. (of course in many countries what you see here in these trash bags would feed a family happily for months.)
But here we call this trash and frankly I am embarrassed by it.
Comment: our apologies to anyone in this world who prayed that God would provide a basic need such as a meal. The fact is that God commanded that we feed the hungry and we disobeyed.
