I just want to say thank you everyone from the deepest reaches of my reclaimed heart, for giving me donations from the car wash and just the generous people from Lifeline, this is what YOU did for the people at the hospital and the people that made the food. The whole day was awesome, I went over to Georgettes' moms house and got to see the inter workings of the huge task in front of them, to make enough food for 250 people. In fact, all of them had smiles on their faces and enjoying each others company, knowing in their heart they were doing something special today. They would set aside some food for people around the neighborhood who was less fortunate
They had so much food that they had to make it was pretty impressive, 3 large pots of rice and beans, tub of casserole salad, carrots, beets and of course, chicken. They spread out a tarp and went to work on making the meals, it was a well oiled machine, the Styrofoam containers where getting filled like clockwork, everyone had a station.
Time to get the show on the road, the kids in the neighborhood helped loading all the dinners in the back of the truck, drinks in the cooler and we were off, speeding down the main drag of Jacmel, heading towards the hospital. In the back of us were the people from Georgettes church to pray for the people who needed prayer, got prayed for.
The hospital was in sight, we got let in the gate, drove up to the hospital and the people from the church started to pray for the sick and injured, we started to bring the food in to everyone who was family or friend it didn't matter. We start handing out the food to who wanted it, whoever needed a meal( it was awesome). So we handed out all the meals, time to go home, The last thing Georgette said to me was, "I wish this feeding program could be more consistent". Off we went in the heat of the day, enjoying what we did for the LORD. Mother Theresa said " if you cant feed a hundred feed one, so we fed 250 people that would not have eaten today. Thank you Lord Jesus for this day!!!!!!!!!!
