Welcome
When my daughter left for college, she asked me what I was going to do now. I told her: feed every hungry person in and around Nashville, TN. I think we can. And clothe them. And find counseling for them or whatever else they need.
With love and friendship, we can watch over our neighbors, we can buy an extra can of tuna and take it to Second Harvest, we can listen when someone is hurting. Like the child who shared his meal with Jesus who used it to feed thousands, we can take our loaves and fishes and make a change. (John 6: 1-13)
Maybe you're the one who needs the meal right now. Or are worried about paying the bills. Or are a teen or senior citizen who is being abused. Don't give up! Find help. Keep trying. Never, ever give up.
Thanks to those who keep the dream alive: the guidance counselor at the local school who never lets a child be cold or hungry; the workers at Second Harvest who feed our neighbors and provide a listening ear; the co-workers who give up their lunch hour to read to children every week; the stranger who donates a Christmas tree to a family who lost everything in a fire, and then buys presents for a child she'll never even meet; a little boy who brings in his four aluminum cans to raise funds for his church; my family who lovingly says yes when I want to start a web site to help other families and to Ken M. for building and hosting the site (You're the best!). And all the rest of you who help, you know who you are. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Love and Friendship. Loaves and Fishes. Together, we can make a difference. JJ
