Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. —Galatians 6:10
As a child I dreamed of a traditional Thanksgiving meal with John Smith on one end of the table and Pocahontas at the other end as we all gave thanks for our green bean casserole, creamed corn, cranberry sauce, and glazed turkey. Dad would wear a red, cable knit sweater, Mom would set the table with fine china, and all of my siblings would play Scrabble before removing the homemade pumpkin pie from the oven.
My secret dreams would inevitably be dashed when donated food would mysteriously arrive on our door step. Opening the cardboard box revealed odd contents like pickled kimchi and dented cans of soup. Grateful for the blessings, but confused on what we’d make for Thanksgiving with the Korean side dish, I was grateful Dad was in the kitchen.
Jesus was a miracle worker, but my dad is a close second when it came to creating miracles in the kitchen. During times of low income, he compensated with high creativity. With his proverbial fish and loaves, he’d miraculously come up with something amazing to eat and even had enough to share with others.
Years later Daddy is still in the kitchen working miracles, but I no longer pray for cardboard boxes to mysteriously arrive.
Now I’m the one who gets to put together boxes for people who dream of cable-knit sweaters and homemade pies. The little girl who hoped for a dinner with green beans and corn, now creates boxes for other little girls who dream of John Smith and Pocahontas.
My mother still doesn’t own fine china, my father wouldn’t wear cable-knit anything while cooking, and you probably never hallucinated about deceased historical figures. But I’m sure there’s a local family in need of hope… and a box of green beans, corn, cranberry sauce, and turkey. Here’s your chance at being like my dad and working a miracle for a family in need 🙂
