Our Neighbours Meal Train serves its final meal tomorrow. Yesterday, we sent along dinner, a simple Chinese meal: Steamed egg with minced pork, stir-fried veg, stir-fried sliced beef with veg, and white rice. We had that for dinner ourselves and it was comfort food for a blustery day.
Our friends enjoyed the meal, (they enjoyed the steamed egg and asked for a recipe) and took the chance to thank us for the street's generosity in feeding them during a tough time. It also occurred to me that accepting help in the first place often requires an equal and opposite measure of humility. I thanked them for allowing us to support them, and she admitted that it was not easy to say "yes" to help. They are all doing better now, and it was a good chance for us to develop as a neighbourhood community.
The much-needed term break is finally here.
My toenails are an array of cheerful colours at the moment!
I'm looking forward to the time together.
