Happy Monday, I hope you are doing well!

I am so thankful I have plenty of food to provide for my family. I can’t imagine, and pray I never have to, how devastatingly heartbreaking and painful it would be as a mother to see my children hungry.  When I see pictures of starving children from around the world, I get so ashamed of myself for my petty complaints and bad attitudes.  It immediately reminds me to be prayerful and thankful as a mother.

When we sit down to our delicious meals this week, instead of rushing through a quick “Thank you for the food, Lord,” let’s pause, and really let our hearts catch up to the words, and pray for hurting people around the world.

  1. Everything on your menu sounds yummy. I usually make cornbread to go with our chili, but for some reason I’ve never thought to make hush puppies!
