Hamburger Give Away

Doing something a bit different today. Going out to serve part of the city by giving away grilled hamburgers and hot dogs to people. We are going door to door with the offer, “How many would you like?” Of course, people will say, “Like what?” To that, we will say, “Nicely grilled burgers and dogs. How many would you like?” Of course, they will then ask, “What’s the catch?” As usual, we will say, “There is no catch. We are just showing God’s love in a practical way. So how many would you like - two, three - how many could you use? They are nice and hot!” (We have them in thermal wrapping.)

How About a Blessing to Go with That?

We are then going to ask if we can offer them a blessing. We plan to pray a generic blessing upon them in most cases - something like, “In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we bless you. Amen.” Anyone can pray that prayer. It takes almost no practice.I’ll get back to you when we get done. We are doing 500 of these in an area of town that is not used to receiving a touch of kindness. We’ll see how it all works. We go in humility and dependence upon God for success.Hamburger Giveaway Epilogue
