can i just say, this was one of the most fulfilling days i've had yet this year!?
this morning, my wonderful 'passe' and i spent the morning putting together meals for people from our church (& a few others from the community). there has been so much tragedy in our community over the last few months, and all of them has touched us in one way or another. so often i wonder WHAT can i do to help?? at the end of the morning, i think we had close to 40 meals to share! what fun it was loading up peoples cars and sending them off to make their special delivery. the family that i brought my meals to have been dealing with a young family member struggling with cancer. today, mommy, who does most of the care giving to the other children, came down with strep throat. what a gift to give to someone who was at the end of their rope.
next time you're making extra for dinner, i challenge you to make a little extra. who knows when someone will need one. it takes away that 'i can't do anything to help' feeling. i think we'd be surprised at the ways God will bless that.
so,here's a pic of 'my girls'.....it was a wonderful day of fellowship. thank you to lynda for inspiring us with 'The farm chicks in the kitchen' book, gracing our prep space. i can't speak for anyone else but that cute little number made me want to bust out my cowboy boots and sassy little gingham apron and get a cook'in!!!!
thanks again friends for making 'day 2o' a great day to remember! i love you girls!

What a blessing this was indeed!! I think we actually had 49 meals total...WOW!! I'm sure we feel as blessed as those receiving it...it does feel good to be able to do "a little something" to help those in need...often when there really isn't much we can do to change their situation. Thank you girls...you know what I mean!!
I love bringing meals to people - nothing like a little love and TLC!! Great ministry girls!
what a great morning indeed. So glad to have friends who love helping others so much. love you all.
