About three years ago my neighbor was diagnosed with cancer. About three months later he died. There was a lot of family from out of town who came to stay with my neighbor's wife. I really felt like I needed to do something for them but we were so broke at that time. I finally decided to make a huge crockpot of bean soup and I had just enough flour to make some biscuits. I also made a homemade card and took it all over to them for dinner. I remember feeling so embarrassed that it wasn't a very fabulous meal. I prayed all the way over to their house that God would help it to taste really good. At one point, I almost turned around and came back home. I am so glad that I didn't. The next day, a friend of the family came over to bring my dishes back. She said that the food was so delicious and was a great comfort to them.
The moral of the story is: Be humble enough to act on your gut instincts. Even when you don't have much to offer.
