It is with great admiration for hard work that I know Laura, a kind woman who devoted 17 years serving food to the homeless and poor.
She has a smile that would make you feel important and happy too,happy to know her and be around her.
Manna House feeds the poor of Newton,New Jersey five days a week in the very large hall of the Presbyterian church.
Volunteers from many churches come to peel,chop,and wash fruits and vegetables.
Laura manages all well and with a beautiful smile.
She apologizes so sweetly for being "bossy" but I do not think she is at all bossy. She has command of her work and she loves it!
When we opened the door to the people today there were many waiting.
Everyone seems to know the system of lining up and getting their food at a little kitchen window.
Today we served up turkey with gravy,broccoli,fruit salad( all fresh fruit which we washed and chopped earlier),delicious rolls and some giant yummy cookies.
I think I had the best job of all.
I got to serve the juice! While everyone stayed and worked in the kitchen I handed out the various juices to the people.
It gave me a good time to bless them and chat with them a bit.
God is so good. We have so much in this country, we are blessed.
Thank you Jesus!!!!!!
