Lunches With Love

Students of the Spirit, our homeschool co-op, had the privilege of serving at the Ronald McDonald house this morning. Our group of homeschool families participated in the Lunches With Love program. We donated and packed 67 bagged lunches to be served to the families whose children are hospitalized for various reasons.  After packing the bags, we prayed over the families that would be receiving them. We all truly enjoyed this wonderful opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus for a community of people that are facing a very difficult time.

If you've never been to the Ronald McDonald House, I highly recommend volunteering! We were given a tour of the house after completing the bags and I was blown away. This 35 bedroom home provides meals and a place to sleep and bathe for families with children at Brenner's hospital. There is absolutely no charge and families can stay as long as needed. A $10 donation is suggested for each night the family stays but no one is required to pay a dime. Last year a family spent 358 nights at the Ronald McDonald house. I can only imagine what a gift it was to them to be close to their ill child and have their meals taken care of. The Ronald McDonald house is a blessing to all who benefit from it! I am grateful that the Students of the Spirit were able to volunteer with this "home away from home" for so many precious families.
