It is common to bring meals to those who have just given birth or lost a loved one, but what about when other situations arise that are stressful? Could we do the same for someone in those situations?
I bring this up because a friend of mine showed incredible kindness and thoughtfulness and was an excellent example to all of us.
Another friend of mine lost her job and was distraught - and reasonably so. She sent out an email asking for prayers. I, like many others, sent her a response letting her know I would be praying for her and if I heard of any available jobs I would pass along the information. My response was thoughtful and came from the heart.
But one of our friends took it a step further. She went to the store and bought a bottle of wine, an already cooked chicken, already made macaroni and cheese (for our friend's son) and some flowers and drove to her house (the day she lost her job) and brought her and her son dinner. What a load off our friend's mind to not have to worry about that!
What are some other situations where you could bring a meal to someone to take one less worry off their mind?
* breakup * sick child * sick * new job * loss of a pet * new home * broken bone * car accident...
