We are three families, whose freezers, refrigerators and counter tops are laden with items and containers labeled, "Do NOT eat until Thanksgiving." Turkey, duck, chicken, and stuffings for the turduken. Pumpkin curry soup, lentils and barley, pounds and pounds of vegetables for roasting, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, Indian pudding, mince meat pie, and more -- enough food to feed us and our extended families for weeks; normally.All for one day; one meal, and yet my thoughts gloss over the fun and feasting, only to settle on Friday, the day after; the start of our parish's World Vision 30 hour famine. Thirty hours of fasting and community service for those who in their entire lifetime, won't ever see the food stored, right now, in my refrigerator.
