It will allow me to research on a more personal level rather than just through scholar sources. My inspiration for this theme came from memories as a child, on a Sunday all of my Nana’s six children, spouses and twelve grandchildren would gather at her home for Sunday dinner. The kitchen was the main attraction as we all knew we were in for an unforgettable treat, even if the menu was the same as last weeks. All the women gathered in the kitchen each designated a specific job and no matter how big or small, it was important because, without it dinner would not be the
According to Caner this presented Johnson with financial hardship as he had a wife and children that were dependent on him for food and shelter. Like any full time minister Johnson found himself at the mercy and totally dependent upon God. This did not detour Johnson from the ministry it allowed him to extend his ministerial abilities to a larger congregation that could support him and his family. It was 1811 when Johnson accepted the call to Savannah Baptist Church located in Savannah, Georgia where he would begin to face opposition and problems. For the first three years at Savannah things seemed to be going fine.
In the one hour long special that really touched my heart it shows how this overgrowing crisis is getting out of hand and how us as Americans need to lend a helping hand to stop this. By helping start more programs in my community and helping give students enough nutritious food to get them through weekends, hand-delivering meals to students’ homes during summer break, and providing services to their families and local food kitchens we would decrease a lot of this. We can also help out by calling our governors to help out. Hunger Hits Home made it clear that America’s hunger crisis is occurring in every neighborhood in the United States. And they also make it clear that when everyone contributes to making a difference, we can stop hunger in its tracks and give every child a healthy, happy

Ms. Sheryl was what I called my “other mother”. And their house was my home away from home. She always made sure I was feed. Every Sunday and major holidays she would cook so much food, she would beg me to take some home with me. But not only was she a good cook, she was very comforting and inspirational.
On top of that I married a Lebanese man, now it becomes even more mixed up with the cultures. Brazil and United States have almost all the holydays in common. One of the holydays that we do not celebrate in Brazil is Thanksgiving, but since we have moved it we celebrate thanksgiving every year with family friends. My mom still cooks just like she used to in Brazil, just not as many times a day that we do in Brazil. Our favorite holydays is New Year, for us Brazilians; we all have to dress in white, as we welcome peace for the New Year.
These groups I can identify to because it reminds me of where I came from, and how I grow up in the South. These groups mean a lot to me because as a child, my grandmother always made me go to church, and she would be a usher in church. If I didn’t go to church then I wasn’t able to go anywhere. So it’s like I had to go. Then I became accustom to going to church, and even in the summer time the church had summer programs that I attended all summer and they would feed us lunch and we would play games all day and this was like very special for me.
They had they own land and farm and lots of animals and with all that, incredible amount of work for anybody who decided to come for a visit. I understand what Bobbie is trying to say in her memoir. My aunt and uncle lived about an hour away from town. My family and I always went to visit every other Sunday after church to eat lunch. Everything we had to eat was home-grown and home-cooked.
My mom deserves to be called a modern day epic hero just as any other caring mother, or father, because they do whatever it is to care for their own no matter what. For example, Jorge Munoz came to America in the early 80’s and became a citizen in 1987; after witnessing the struggles such as poverty that many of the people living in his city were enduring, he decided to start cooking food to feed dozens of day laborers in Queens. An estimation of more than 70,000 people has been assisted by Munoz since 2004. His operation is financed from the $600 he receives weekly for driving a school bus and donations. On August 4, 2010, Munoz was awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal by President Barack Obama.
Though I am not proud of what I did, those were the best times of my life until I became part of God’s church. Raised in a small town in Mississippi, my father was never predestined for greatness. He was raised on southern hospitality, style, and values. These values consisted of church every Sunday, daily football games, and family reunions at dinner. With my grandmother being a school teacher my father was naturally inclined to stand out from the other kids in his class through determination, and shear force from his mother to complete his homework.
