April 2011 Newsletter

Greetings! 

 

This month's newsletter features our friend Sandy Couglin.  Sandy is also known as the "Reluctant Entertainer."  We love her perspective on helping friends in need; she knows exactly what friends do! 

Hospitality

 

Some nights you'll find me in the kitchen doubling up a dish. This is because I'm either freezing one for my family, or I'm getting ready to take a meal to a family in need.

 

Hospitality covers the whole range of life experiences and emotions.

 

For me, some of these life experiences and feelings have come in challenging times, like when I had my children (who are now teens), when my husband and I lost three parents within a five year period, and when I had several surgeries. Friends rallied together and gave me one of the most thoughtful gifts: They brought my family a meal. They fed our bodies and nourished our souls with their generous love for us. Taking a meal to others in need happens often in churches, but it's not just church people who we should look out for. Our world is full of need.  Read More 

Some Favorites 
 

Here are just a few of our favorite WhatFriendsDo tips for taking food to a friend:

  • Take food in recyclable containers you do not need back, or label your dishes.
  • Offer to return dishes to all the friends who supplied meals.
  • Remember dietary restrictions/likes/dislikes/allergies
  • Take the WHOLE meal ... salad, vegetables, fruit, bread, dessert ... not just the main course. Add something for an afternoon or evening snack.
  • Lots of people will bring meals, so instead of a dinner, consider giving your friend a snack basket - junk food as well as the nutritious stuff.
We might not be able to change the outcome of your situation, but we hope to help change the journey!
