If you've happened to see me on a Monday night in the past 3 months you've probably noticed a big smile on my face. That is because every Monday night is SOUP NIGHT! Soup night is a night I don't have to cook dinner, but instead get to enjoy a soup meal from a fabulous cook. Her name is Kimberly and she is a dear, dear friend . . . and one of the most generous people I've ever met. Every Monday night she makes pots and pots of soup for friends and family. She texts everyone in the day to notify what kind of soup she will be making (ie. tomato, corn chowder, chicken noodle, cream of broccoli) then gives a pick up time of when to go and get your soup. She has these little one serving mini pots that you bring back every time to get filled (we have four even though Malia and Kina usually don't eat a whole serving. . . Wayne and I make up the difference ha ha). Along with the soup, she'll usually prepare a bread, a salad and a dessert. Is that not just amazing? To make it even better, everything is from scratch and EVERYTHING is delicious.
Why does she do this, one might ask. I can honestly say it is from the goodness of her heart. She just loves to serve and make people happy. God has given her the talent to cook and she blesses his children with that talent. She truly amazes and inspires me - she is such a great example of unselfish service, sacrifice and love. Thinking about the gigantic task she takes on once a week honestly makes me think twice when I want to complain about feeding my family of four. I love her so much - she makes the world a better place . . . one bowl of soup at a time.

Thats what the world needs is more KIMBERELY'S! So awesome what a great idea!
Wow, what a good lady! I've never met her before but from all the things you've mentioned about her, she sounds like someone I want to get to know! :)
BTW I saw your parents on Sunday and your mom came up to me to say and hi. She told me she feels like she's seeing a part of you when she sees me. I felt honored when she said that! Haha! :)
That's way nice of her she'll totally be one of those ladies that in the future she'll have Extreme Home Makeovers doing her house because of her generosity. Humm, what service can I be doing for others?!?!
daaaang...that's crazy! a very inspiring woman!
