Blessings in Disguise
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
As we embark on another week of preparing and serving meals and sharing the love of Christ through Kitchen One for One, we’re reminded of the many blessings that come our way. These blessings are difficult to fully comprehend in the moment and are sometimes disguised in the most unexpected forms. Our food not only fills bellies but also nourishes souls, and the connections we make at our events with the people we serve have enriched our lives beyond measure.
If you haven’t tried our famous Queso Mac & Cheese, you’re missing out! The process of making it is literally a labor of love. It all begins with carefully selecting the finest ingredients – tender pasta, creamy cheese, and a touch of spice to give it that signature kick. As the pasta boils and the cheese melts into a smooth aromatic sauce, there’s a sense of anticipation and excitement, knowing that this dish will bring warmth and comfort to those who need it most.
Bringing all the elements together to prepare all the things we serve at our events is a reminder that sometimes, the most rewarding results come from the effort and patience we put into the process… and it's a testament to how God works in our lives. He uses every moment, every challenge, and every joy to create something beautiful and meaningful.
Beyond the kitchen, our mission extends to building genuine connections with the people we serve. Each interaction is an opportunity to listen, learn, and grow together. Over time, we've discovered that these relationships are not one-sided; the people we serve have taught us invaluable lessons and blessed us in ways we never could have imagined.
From sharing stories of resilience and hope to offering us a helping hand in times of need when we’re hustling to get set up on the street, these moments have become a source of inspiration and strength for us to keep on truckin’. It's a powerful reminder of a truth we often forget, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."
As we continue to serve and share through Kitchen One for One, let’s embrace the blessings that come our way, even when they’re disguised in the challenges and efforts of everyday things. Just as our Queso Mac & Cheese brings warmth and joy, may everyday things… the situations, circumstances, and relationships with others… fill our hearts with gratitude and love, knowing that God is working through us for a much higher purpose.
