Our dear pastor's wife taught the children of our church a cute little song called "Showing God's Great Love". In it, the children sing about everyday examples of showing God's love.
Our nearly 92 year old friend that we take to church had been wanting us to come eat with her. We put her off, mainly because we were afraid of the amount of work it would cause her. But she would not be denied---and we accepted. She was bound and determined to cook for us to repay our taking her to church.
We had the most fabulous country meal I've tasted since my own sweet Mamaw went home to be with Jesus. Garden green beans, peas, fried corn, cornbread, steak and gravy, strawberries, sweet tea, creamed taters and homemade slaw sounds homey, but they tasted so good!
This little lady was living out what the adult Sunday school lesson was about: showing apprecation to fellow believers, little acts of compassion, hospitality. In short, showing God's great love.
Well, Miss Ruby, you'll probably never read this, but I love and appreciate you. And your delicious green beans! |
