Evening Thoughts

This is the second time I've seen this moving video (5 days of Hunger); I got choked up once again. Some questions I have faced thus far this week: 1. Should we eat the food that is in the fridge, or let it spoil and stick to the subsistence diet? 2. Is coffee OK? 3. How should I handle two previously scheduled lunch appointments this week? Today, I ordered rice and beans at the restaurant while my guests ate full meals! Anonymous

  1. So here are the thoughts of someone who grew up in Namibia where hunger is rampant. I would enjoy your coffee/tea. It actually occurred to me yesterday that this is pretty much the only "snack" many people back home where I am from have and MIGHT explain why it was always enjoyed with about 8 spoonfuls of sugar. As I was craving a mid morning snack of any kind and realized that might not be an option for many in the world I made a cup of tea extra sweet and boy that tea tasted real good :-) SO my 2 cents enjoy your coffee/tea. As far as the other questions go: not as simple. Perhaps you might want to give away some of the food you have. Cook something for someone else and give it away as a gift to a neighbor, friend or even Miriam our newest mom at the Mom Connection. Just a thought.
