I am not making this up! So, this morning our middle daughter (need I say more...) approaches me as says, "Mom, I want to Feed the Homeless for my Birthday!" Of course, I say, "Great. Yeah! You are feeding the homeless on Sunday. We are going to E's house and we are taking our crew and some girl scouts and making product-assembly line style, PBJ Sack Lunches for I don't know, like, a thousand sack lunches for about a thousand children and some adults on the southside of Richmond, Virginia near the River."
But, S says to me, "But, I want to Host a Feed the Homeless Birthday Party..." and "...the Homeless get the gifts..." Folks, I am not making this up. We are hosting a Feed the Homeless this Sunday and we are having a great time making their lunches the night before at my girlfriend's house in The Fan District. We plan on bringing recruits. And, maybe, a Catholic Priest, or two, or even a youth worker. Let's go Make some noise! And, see what happens. I pray that it is all good and it works out the way God intended it, to be. And, finally, birthday girl asks me, "Mom, can I have a Homeless Birthday Party Cake...and...give it to the Homeless but only after I blow out the eleven plus one birthday candles....?" What more does anyone want? Really. Really.
Oh, yeah...by the way, Monday, 15 September 2014, it's my birthday too. I became a mother the second time around. Happy Birthday, to me, too!
Labours of Love!
