love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:2
We at the Love By The Bowl, are so overflowing with love for the guests the Lord brings through the doors.
We where open the 21st & 28th of December.
I am encouraged to share stories of our journey at the soup kitchen, that being said, I find it hard at times, as a person gets so close to these amazing people & to hear of there stories & to be able to offer them a warm place, a hearty lunch & to walk beside them in there tears, joy & difficulties, to pray for them & with them. But I do know sharing gives you the opportunity to pray :)
Through Christmas it is an emotional time for some people & some shared stories that would break your heart!! In it though they felt they needed to come to a place that was happy & positive!!
Yesterday we had a good crowd, though some were missing because the side roads where so icy here.
Again the cook made two amazing soups, Cream of Potato with smokey hocks & Minestone. Her soups are also gluten free :). Served with homemade buns & cookies!!
We have a new server a young lad from the states, Who will be stepping into areas of reaching the community for the Lord :) Must get him an apron :)
The rug hooking table is taking off, the gals & guys are enjoying themselves. If anyone has 100% wool articles, you could drop off at soup kitchen on Wednesdays. If possible washed & dryed. Thank you :)
Our dear fellow who travels a bit from out of town, calls us his loves :)
A young gal who comes, shared that she had been blessed by a gift from someone of our church, so unexpected she said & how she was able to give her children that little extra :)
We have a light Bible study that happens after lunch. PTL!!
From one servant of the Lord to another servant of the Lord!!
God Bless
