Meatloaf in Bulk

Ever since we got five pound packages
Of ground beef,
I have been trying to figure out
What to do with them.

Today I figured I would make meatloaf in bulk,
Ready to feed the ravening hordes
When they came to supper.
Except the hordes didn’t come.

This felt like a let-down.
Without a microwave,
Leftover meatloaf isn’t overly appealing.
And I spent so much of my day preparing food.

So I sent food home with all I could.
And in a few hours, got a note from a friend.
Several had come in the intervening time,
Dealing with traumas great and small.

None had eaten.
Now they had.
Even my miscalculation
Turned out for God’s glory.

Thanks be to God.
