I Dare You To Eat It

Years ago, one of my good friends who lives in New York, told me about her testimony of pancakes. During a very difficult period of time when her husband was unemployed, she learned to stretch the family’s food budget by serving pancakes for dinner at least a couple of times each week. Her five children loved the meal and were happy for a break from the typical main course and vegetables. They didn’t recognize it as a hardship.

Years later, I still remember standing in her kitchen, admiring her ability to adapt in trying times, and realizing that I could stand to learn from that example. She taught me how small and simple changes can make a big difference.
