Dear ML Families,
It’s three in the morning and my wife and I can’t sleep. The first annual LIFE (Life IS Feeding Everyone) day is around the corner, 12-11-10. Think of how cool that will be 12-11-11, 12-11-12, 12-11-13, etc! This is going to be an annual day, every year, that all of us and all of those that we reach out to, show the world that there is abundance. It only takes a minute to make a difference in someone’s life and to create LIFE. So on this day, each and every one of us will do some act of kindness that includes bringing food or sustenance to a hungry person. It’s time to get our vision started. Let’s start THIS SATURDAY, 12-11-10!!
Here are some ideas:
1. A sandwich to a homeless person on the corner- Peanut butter and Jelly??
2. Canned goods to a soup Kitchen, or if you want, I can take your cans and bring them to the DCF distribution Center. I will pick up cans or you can drop them off at my house. Just call me!
3. Give a bottle of water or coffee to a homeless person.
4. Find a soup Kitchen to work at: They are in every community. There is one on Boynton Beach Blvd, between Military and Lyons called THE SOUP KITCHEN: 561-732-7595. You can make a whole loaf of Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches with your friend, kids, grandchildren. Have a competition to see who can make them the fastest and make it fun. Then put the sandwiches back in the bread loaf bag and call the kitchen to drop them off. It’s cheap and easy and a wonderful thing to do. They also accept leftovers, or other foods. Just call them, or call me if you live in another area and we will help to find a local soup kitchen together.
5. Do you have a neighbor who lives alone and struggles to make ends meet? You could bring a care package. Reach out and bring a plate for dinner, a plate of cookies, a cooked turkey? Get creative!
6. Do you constantly have leftovers when you go out to eat, or when you bake, or when you make a dinner for friends and family? Bag up or pack up those leftovers, ask for a doggie bag or to go box at the restaurant and silverware, and take a drive around! I know there are always several homeless people at the corner of Congress and 6th avenue and they SHARE with each other. Or, you know where you can be safe and hand out food. GO there. Wherever you are! If you are out of state, out of the country, even better. That means our vision is reaching farther.
7. Can you come up with another idea and share it with the group. Email directly to the group or email me and I will compile more ideas in this list for us to use!
We CAN make a difference. We CAN show the world that ML has changed the world and will continue to! Let’s get it started in HERE! Let’s talk about LIFE!
Please send this letter, or you can edit it (even better), to everyone in your address book, and everyone in THEIR address book! Just think of the difference WE will make when we enroll everyone in our vision…. …isn’t that the goal???? Ask your friends, and I am asking YOU all –to respond back to the group after Saturday, as to what YOU did for LIFE DAY. Did you get a smile? Did it make a difference? Did you feel warm inside? WE ARE THE DIFFERENCE WE SEEK! LET’S Get it Started OUT THERE!! GO TEAM EARTH!
