Today was the day: TORTILLA TUESDAY The day that we joined with Lifesong to 'experience' a meal regularly served at Lifesong Honduras. Approximately 550 kids are served tortillas, beans and rice with a little cream for dinner each day. They also eat tortillas, rice and beans for breakfast. For lunch, you guessed it, tortillas, rice and vegetable soup, pasta or chicken. Are you seeing a pattern here?
We decided to bring TORTILLA TUESDAY to our community group to help share the needs of the children in Honduras. Our community group enjoys a meal together before each of our meetings. So this was a great time to learn about others who live so differently than we do and to consider how the Lord might have us share out bounty with them. Before the meal, James read through some facts regarding the people and children of Honduras. Then the digging in commenced; with a greater appreciation of our abundance, I'm sure.

Where the children gather to eat....laugh and eat some more.

| The meal proved to be a good experience. Some comments were: "Amazing how fast you digest this meal." "It really is tasty". "Can we have this every day?" "Okay, maybe not every day, three times a day". "This is an inexpensive meal" "Can we have seconds?" If you would like to give to children in Honduras, Lifesong For Orphans has a matching grant opportunity which would double your dollar...and who doesn't want to double their dollar these days? Check out Lifesong's website and join them in bringing Joy and Purpose to orphans in Honduras....and keep those tortillas coming!!! |
