A close friend of mine is quickly approaching the due date of her fourth child coming this Saturday. I spent most of Saturday helping her to do her “once a month cooking” where you prepare all dinner meals in one day and then freeze them. She is someone that I treasure as a friend, so I just enjoyed spending the day with her, and the fact that I was ministering to her at the same time by helping her get her months worth of food was a bonus. I couldn’t have done it without my husband saying that he’d take care of Adair and Alec all day, so I am praying for God to mightely bless Mike for also ministering to my friend by letting me be available.
On top of all that cooking, I also canned more salsa! My neighbor brought a HUGE bag of tomatoes, so I canned 20 pints of salsa. She told me to expect more tomatoes in another week, so I guess I’ll have plenty of salsa for the winter, provided I don’t keep giving it away ; )

Now that’s what I call loving your neighbor well. Do you ship salsa?

Where should I send it Tom? ; ) It’s yummers. It would suck if it broke though! LOL! They might freak out and call the HAZMAT. ; D
Sharon! Thank you for your encouragement! The once a month cooking is a pretty good idea, but boy, you’ve gotta have a big freezer! ; D
