comfort food

On December 28th, my friends and I had

 the privilege of serving dinner

to the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House

that serves The Children's Hospital in our area.

When we started doing this a year ago, we found out that

 someone provides dinner every night.

What a great ministry!

We are happy to do it four times a year.

A couple of our hubbys came to help set up and clean up.

Mine is on the left! :-)

I've told you this before, but the house is beautiful.

Everything is first class..the kitchen is amazing.

Tons of storage, three dishwashers, two stove tops and ovens,

two huge refrigerators and a large freezer.

All kinds of cookware and dishes....

everything the families could need.

They do Christmas well, too. The decorations were lovely!

Back to the reason for our visit...the food!

We prepared four types of soup, cornbread and Texas toast.

Our hope was that this "comfort" food

 would comfort the families just a little on that chilly night.

And, of course, we brought dessert!

There are always cakes there from local bakeries,

so we usually bring something simple.

This time it was Rice Krispie Treats and

oatmeal cookies.

There were 8 families staying in the house that night.

Most of them young couples with pre-mature babies.

It was a blessing to meet them, hear their stories
 and pray for them.

We look forward to April when we get to do it again!
