About twice a month I cook with a group of fun, loving, and very intelligent women. It's with a ministry that was started at our church in 1993 by a very special man who saw a need to help AIDS patients. We prepare meals for these patients and their families, home bound or shut-ins, and people with special needs. There are currently five of us who get together to cook and package the meals. At times we have to be a little creative. Kind of like going to your pantry, seeing what you've got, and then bringing it all together for a fabulous meal, or at least edible. We also receive a few donations, which really help. Such as this left over turkey and dressing.
Sometimes it's a matter of assembling pre-packaged foods. But even when we do that, there's always cooking going on. Last night we prepared pork chops, chicken, tuna casserole, ham, turkey and beef stew.
And of course, when you get five women together in a kitchen, there's a whole lot of talking and laughing going on! Hard to keep up with all the conversations. The best part is the fellowship. One thing for sure, when you've got friends like these, you don't need a therapist!

What a great ministry. I know the ladies you work with mean a lot to you. I am sure it is nice to get to visit with them while you work.
What a nice thing for you ladies to do. I am always so in awe of people that take the time to help others. And...we all know those people will be so blessed to get an extra star in their crown up there!!
