A friend called me today and said, "Diane, I don't want to just
write a check - how can I participate?" We talked and here is what she
decided to do. I think its a great idea - so feel free to join her. My
friend Mireya is going to try to eat for a dollar for as many meals as
she can, maybe just one day, maybe just one meal for several days.
Whatever she saves by eating for just a $1 that day or meal, she is
going to donate. Even if you don't want to eat for $1 or can't for many
good reasons, health being one of them - DO NOT do anything like this
unless you are healthy enough to do it without harming yourself - you
could eat a little less than you normally do and donate whatever you
saved by eating less. The most important thing, however, beyond NOT
DOING ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE YOU HARM, is to eat intentionally and
with gratitude for all the hands that brought that food to our table and
to pray for those who as we eat, don't know when they will eat again -
not as a guilt thing, but to help us stay conscious and because I
believe that God answers prayer.
