Delivering
Soup
Read
James 2:15-17
It
seemed like a simple enough thing to do. "Let's take the
left-over soup from the Soup Supper and deliver it to some folks who
are shut-in, or just couldn't make it to church," and really, it
was a simple enough thing to do.
Heidi
and I gathered up the containers of soup, made a quick list of people
we'd try, and off we went. Yes, it's a simple thing, delivering soup
– until you actually do it.
When
you actually make the deliveries; when you see the faces and hear the
voices and touch the hands; when you get back in the car and realize
that you haven't had so many people ask God's Blessings on you in a
long time; that's when you realize.
You
realize that when you get out of the car and walk up to the door with
those containers, you're not just delivering soup – you're
delivering Love.

Thank
you, Father, for allowing us to be your hands, carrying soup and love
to our brothers and sisters in your name.
Amen.
