Unity of Food

I love cooking and baking. I think I want to show people the love of Jesus through food. Not necessarily a soup kitchen, though I am not opposed to that. I just think that food is one of the few things that unites all humanity, and in the moment of a meal, all walls come down.
One time this summer, I was at the Salvation Army food tent, helping with tornado clean up. There was a man eating by himself, so I sat by him. He told me how his wife had kicked him out of the house and now he had nowhere to go, and she was taking the insurance money. He was open in that moment of our meal. He let me pray for him. Sadly, I do not remember his name. Yet the fact remains: the meal brings us together, and opens us up. I want to use this for the greatest good: to help feed the soul of man, and to enlarge the Kingdom.
