The hours after Adam’s Granny’s funeral were filled with fellowship and laughter, play and stories. She would have loved seeing all 14 of the great-grands out on the gym floor chasing balls and each other. She would have laughed with her grandchildren as all 6 of the cousins shared stories of raising their children, reminding them how each acted the same way. She would have been proud to know that the ladies of her church blessed us with such hospitality.
What is it that makes the meal after a funeral so delicious anyway? While I’m certain the ladies at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church are wonderful cooks, I have a feeling that their fried chicken had a few special ingredients. Love and Prayer. The ladies set out a simple meal with pasta salad, mac and cheese, black eyed peas, and fried chicken that filled our extended family with much more than just nourishment.
Thank you ladies of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, Sardis, Arkansas for blessing us with a wonderful meal and a time to relax and visit, remembering Granny just a bit longer.
