Lord:
remind me why I'm making meals for sharing
remind me as I'm making my grocery list and thinking, worrying (googling) something to make
help me remember why I'm cooking for someone else's house
show me this is more than just another something else I've added to my list of things to do
when I'm standing in line at the grocery store
or looking for the ice chest in the garage
and especially when I'm cleaning up the kitchen after making two meatloaves

he broke his foot and may need surgery
she is pregnant and confined to bed with a medical condition that is expected to be fatal to the unborn child and possibly to her
he said Sunday morning how he never realized what a hot meal was such a blessing
he said its unbelievable to him how much comfort he has knowing that while he is on the road for work his wife is at home eating a hot meal that someone from the church prepared for her
and how he sometimes gets home at 9:00p
and how he sits down by himself
and has some of that hot meal that someone dropped off
Lord, remind me about this household
remind me when making a grocery list
remind me when standing in line at Walmart
remind me in my messy kitchen
remind me to pray over the food I'm cooking
remind me this is important
This week someone else's house received:
Meatloaf (no special recipe, just the regular kind)
Mash potatoes (just potatoes boiled, mashed with milk, butter, salt and pepper)
Steamed broccoli (just broccoli steamed)
half of a butter cake (the half I didn't eat)
paper plates, plastic utensils and napkins
By this shall all men know that you are My disciples, if you love one another if you keep on showing love among yourselves. (John 13:35 amplified)

may you also be blessed beyond measure for your caring, for your concern, for your dicipleship.
Ok you made me cry...the sob kind of cry. I bet it was the best meatloaf and mashed potatoes ever! Hugs sweet lady, have a great weekend and thanks for linking up!
What you wrote is truly beautiful, not only in style and wording, but more importantly in the love and faith you share. Thanks for blessing my day with your words.
Bobbie - - you have answered your Calling !
You are a blessing!
What a lovely post. I think I'll print it out and add it to my hospitality folder where I make notes of what I've fed people, to remind me what the priorities are.
