Lovelight Charities

My heart is filled with so much joy tonight as I got to do something I’ve struggled to do while I’ve been recovering from the brain blast of 2022.

I have been praying recently for God to use me more than what He currently is. I asked Him specifically to let me get back to taking meals to the sick, shut in, elderly, unable or anyone He puts in my path.

I put the word out in the last week or so and asked supporters to please provide funds to help me meet this need. In less than an hour, I collected $250 to cover this trip and 2 more. Thank you so very much to those of you that made this possible! I could not have done it without you!

I made macaroni and beef cheesy casserole and garlic cheese biscuits today. I had to take a break between casseroles and biscuits. So what took me maybe an hour to prepare before, took me about 4 hours today but I got it done.

Since I maxed out my brain cells for the day, Connor had to drive me to the houses and it felt surreal and a bit nostalgic. When he was little, he rode shotgun in the truck on many (probably all) kdeliveries with me and always had the best time.

I cannot express the excitement in the voice and in the face of the caregiver spouse that’s been living on frozen corn dogs and pizzas, and ham sandwiches for more months than could be counted. Thankfully, we delivered it straight out of the oven, because they said they were starving and ready to eat. No time to stand around chit chatting today. 😂

As we rode along to all 4 stops, my heart just filled with joy and gratitude that the answer to my prayer was unfolding right then, with my beloved son and my beloved Mason witnessing it.

It didn’t look as easy as it once was. Nor did it feel as easy as it once did. Some things had to be tweaked, my scheduling and planning is nonexistent now and it all made me very tired. But my prayer was answered. I didn’t ask God to make it as same as it was ten years ago, but just to give me the opportunity to try.

Thank you Lord, for allowing me to be Your trusted casserole deliverer. I was reminded tonight why I always felt so blessed by it. Because it is more blessed to give than to receive.
