Tonight was a little different for us than the last week has been. Tonight we ate a home cooked meal that didn’t consist of peanut butter and jelly (Peter Pan & Raspberry Smuckers Jam on wheat… the best). Ma-Cindy, Isaac’s new MI grandmother, had made some chicken noodle soup from scratch last night and offered some to us, but my parents came to town to take us out. So, when we got back to the guest house, sitting on the counter was a freshly packaged container of homemade soup.
We ate it tonight. I had seconds. It was that kind of good that only a mom knows how to do. It was the best meal we’ve had all week.
It goes to show what a home cooked meal can do for the soul.
It made me appreciate an organization we support at Crosspoint so much more.
Comfort Food is an organization that provides fresh meals to families going through medical crisis. Doesn’t matter what it is. Chemo to hospice. Kid in the hospital to mom on bed rest. If it’s a medical crisis, they want to help. The meals are distributed for free and then they’re able to be cooked in most hospital kitchenettes. It’s like having a little piece of home with you.
