FED UP

Remember that old - and wise - saying about "Don't bit the hand that feeds you"? There have been a lot of them around for the past week or so - hands feeding us, that is.

Rose Leone came to me a couple of years ago and said she thought it would be a great thing if the church could offer to provide meals for families in times of need. So in true Grace Church style, I threw it back on her and said, Great idea - you do it! And she did.

Made With Love has delivered hundreds of meals to folks in all kinds of circumstances and I have heard an amazing amount of stories of how blessed people have been by this practical ministry and the demonstration of love that it gives.

Of course I have never been on the receiving end of it - until Gill got home from hospital last week, that is. For over a week now, every day at dinner time, someone has come to the door with an outstanding meal to help ease the burden as she continues the slow process of recovery from her surgery.

We have been incredibly well fed, but the food itself is only part of the story, the care, love and support that are conveyed through the meals have been tremendously encouraging.

Most folks know I like good food and so it's a no-brainer this Friday, our Supercool Person Of The Week is the person who had the vision, put it into practice and keeps the meals rolling, Rose Leone!

Her commitment to caring and her selfless serving of others make her one outstanding lady.
