Blessed

It was a good week for Fay and Kay.  Fay lost one pound and Kay lost an astounding three pounds!!  Although Fay can credit the puppy fun she was having last week, Kay credits her weight loss to a realization that she had during the week.

You see, Kay heard from a friend last week who had moved away.  During the conversation, Kay discovered that this friend moved away from an abusive situation and is trying to start over with nothing.  No heat, no electricity, little food.  Kay decided that she would bring a few things to her friend this weekend, but, in preparation, she also decided that it wasn't fair that she had so much to eat when this girl had so little.  So Kay ate tiny meals this week and every time she felt hungry, she thought of her friend who is surviving on soup and oatmeal while trying to build a new life.

Although a fast like Kay's would not be healthy over the long term, Fay and Kay decided that it would be healthy for their souls to incorporate this fasting lifestyle into their daily lives.  The girls will be eating very reduced meals a couple times a week and when hunger strikes, they will use that as a reminder to think of others who are not so blessed as to have an abundance of food in their pantry.
