I know that many of you love to serve others by providing meals for families.  I had a great moment in our Sunday School class recently and I thought I’d share it for you to consider as well. 

We had been discussing the need to get better at providing meals for other families in crisis.  We had great intentions, but individually we kept dropping the ball because of all the distrations in a family’s life.  So right there, in the class I was inspired to do something about it.  I shared with everyone there that if they would each commit to bringing one 3 pound bag of boneless, skinless chicken breasts and one of the following canned goods (cream of mushroom soup, diced tomatoes, tomatoes with chili’s, or chicken broth) I would bring gallon zip lock bags and the seasonings.  I told them that we could put up as many meals as individuals who participate in the same time we spend gathering around the coffee pot and chatting before class. 

I am very anxious to see how it goes.  I’ll let you know.  It will be great to have our church freezer stocked with quick entrees we can pull out and carry to a family without even having to schedule time into our weeks. 

How do you use meals as a ministry? 

God Bless and Keep You,

Tami
