Ingredients for preparing a Meal of Love
• MOMMY ~ with a teaspoon of honey and strawberries
• Heaven ~ trumpets & ANGELS, an audience of charity watching
her
• Dishes ~ Utensils ~ and Mommy’s LOVELY HANDS ~ cooking and
smiling as she teaches her children every movement of her heart
speaks as she prepares them for the feast
• Dinner table ~ with lilies & décor for the places to be set
• And the FAMILY ~ who love MOMMY ~ as she thought of every
soul she prepared the delicate meal for with the heartfelt fullness
of a charity on fire for the BANQUET OF HEAVEN!
