Menu Monday: Nourishing Body and Soul

 


This was another strange week in Shafferland…one in which I didn’t always take pictures of our meals, and sometimes I didn’t even have meals. I look forward to some kind of return to normalcy in our schedules, routines, and eating habits, for sure!

                But for today, I want to pause to say thanks to those of you who kept us fed in this strange week, where we had little time, energy, or desire to cook for ourselves.

                For the friend who showed up first thing Monday morning with a tub of chicken noodle soup and some chocolate chip cookies…thank you!

                For the friends who showed up Tuesday evening with a slow cooker of chicken and dumplings and pumpkin cookies…thank you!

                For my coworkers who surprised me with my favorite coffee…thank you!

                For the church that hosted Dad’s funeral and made sure we had cold meat, cheese, fresh veggies, cookies, and even some pie for the road…thank you!

                For our church, who sent us home yesterday with chili, cornbread, chips, and apple pie…and a gift card for later…thank you!

                For this past week and the days to come, we’re well cared-for, and we are thankful.
