When we are invited to a dinner with fancy napkins, we know there's something more than food being served. We know that we will be fed by something else. Something with meaning. Something deeper.
Our mission story this month begins with a tribute to the co-founder of a food pantry in South Florida. Long before Tricia Heng started that pantry, she was a struggling single mom who received a basket of food at a terribly difficult time. That gift from a stranger at a church gave her just the courage she needed to say yes to going on a retreat where she had a personal encounter with God. He tugged her heart. Made it personal. Let her know that she had a mission. She wrote a letter to Him at the end of that retreat -- nearly 27 years ago [11/3/1996] and she told Him she didn't know what the mission was but she knew He'd direct her steps. And He did!
Our story ends with a series of miracles that have allowed that feast to continue many years after her death. And for many to feast on the friendship of God.
Curious?
We sure hope so!
