I serve at a church/soup kitchen once a month that is in my city. It is because
of a bunch of awesome people who were faithful when God called that I am able
to do that. It’s amazing to see God’s provision when we go to put the leftovers
in the fridge and it’s overflowing! It’s
a good problem to have!
It seems that every time we serve a meal we say “I think
that’s our favorite to serve” whether it’s meatballs, tacos, chili, fried
chicken, breakfast, or chili dogs! I
think it’s an excellence thing. When we
serve we don’t just show up, our hearts are open wide, we’ve planned from the
kind of plate we buy (we try to buy the Dixie kind with an edge so stuff doesn’t
fall off), to all the fixin’s, dessert, drinks. We try.
It is only by God’s grace and love are we blessed in
blessing others. It is Him who wrote on
our hearts to love in food. It is Him
who saved us. It is Him who provides the funds for the meals. It is Him.
He is all over our serving because He loves us. He allows it to be our favorite no matter
what we serve.
I’m so thankful for the opportunity to not only serve a
meal, to spend time with my friends, but to love with a gift that He gave me.
1 Cor 16:14 Do everything in love
