I got an email from a friend at church this week, asking if she could bring us dinner soon. First off I was hesitant, knowing she has a grown son she's worried about since he has his own health issues. But after I thought about it, realized that our oldest daughter has been filling in the gap too much, so I accepted. She emailed me back, obviously happy I'd agreed.
So, today was the day. She said she'd be here this afternoon, and I told her someone would be home. Well, she stopped by while I was gone picking up fourth son at work and brought such wealth. You'd be amazed at what she brought. A baked ham, a bag of avocados, raspberries, a jug of milk, cheese, rolls, a huge bag of Dunkin Donuts coffee (made Gary drool), an apple pie, the biggest bag of tortilla chips known to man, coconut water for the kids, lunch meat, and I think that's all. Can you believe it?
I assumed she'd bring a casserole and maybe a dessert. That would've been wonderful. What she brought was astounding.
She called it 'The Judy' named after her friend who brought a whole lot of stuff to her when her own mom was sick. Guess I'll have to be on the look-out for someone else along the line who has a need. Pay it forward. Give 'The Judy' to a friend, or maybe a not-so-friend. Either way, it's absolutely amazing.
