The Kindness of Lentil Soup

"Only the pure in heart can make a good soup."
― Ludwig van Beethoven

There are days that challenge me that make me wonder how I will make it to the finish line.  On a recent day like that, I was delighted to find lentil soup waiting for me after the race.  One of my dearest mom friends made lentil soup and gave me a container with a very generous portion.  When I finally made it home way past dinner time, I served myself some of her delicious soup.  Hearty soup is a typical comfort food, but when you add kindness to the mix, it is even more satisfying.  I ate my soup in gratitude for the many kindnesses of my friend.  And thought of her again as I ate it for lunch the next day.
