Occasionally, people have times in their lives in which they are in a certain amount of hardship. I can only imagine how much they have to face, without worrying about where their next meal will come from.
What a relief (and a feeling of being loved) it must be when someone cares enough to provide a person or family facing hardship with food.
Here are 2 stories of such situations.....
1. A friend of mine from dance class had her hip replaced, she is one of the key drummers. Her husband who is a fellow dancer was busier than ever trying to provide the nurturing care for her.
My husband (who is a chef) cooked a number of meals and I delivered them.
A tribute to your sis...
2.Our random act of kindness wasn't exactly random. We decided to take food to two different places in town. We were able to get quite a bit of meat at a discounted price (it was excellent meat - we have an in with a store). In our city there is a place that houses men and families. The night before we were there they fed 55 men, women and children. We gave them two huge hams which would be one meal for them. We also left pork loins and sandwich meat. We were told they didn't have a meal for that weekend. With the hams we brought and a local farmer's produce they would.

The second place we chose was a home for HIV/AIDS patients. They have 4 residents at this time and 2 Nuns living there. This home was founded by one of the Sisters. The Bishop we had at the time was a favorite of Stacy's. We felt he had a hand in the building of the home so that was why we chose it.
Like I said we got a good price for the meat. In a regular store I'm sure it would have run at least $300 or $400. Thanks to the generosity of friends we paid $80. We plan to take more meat to them, especially during the holidays.
