PrintSomeone's in the Kitchen with Lulu
Don’t ask me what this has to do with angels, but I haven’t cooked all week. My daughter Louisiana and her bff Mia are in an all-day cooking camp, where, among other things, they prepare a gourmet dinner to bring home to family.
Since Mia is visiting us from New Hampshire (without her family), we find two families’ worth of food on our table each night. When we saw what that meant Monday evening, we called our cross-the-street neighbors and told them to come right over for beef empanadas, corn salad, fresh baby greens and carrot cake for dessert.
The next night we invited a family friend, a single man whose specialty in the kitchen is pasta. Dinner? Whole wheat penne pasta and meatballs with marinara sauce, zucchini parmesan, and garlic knots with rosemary and sundried tomatoes. Biscotti for dessert. Our friend pronounced the meal “remarkable,” and took the leftovers home for lunch the next day.
Last night Louisiana invited some girlfriends for stuffed salmon, crab cakes, parsnip mashed potatoes, and bib lettuce salad with lemon juice and (very good) olive oil. We all managed to make room for the creamy blueberry cheesecake that followed. Tonight we will host my best commuting buddy and her family for a meal so exotic Louisiana is keeping it a secret until I get home from work. She just texted me to say she’s especially proud of tonight’s offering because it looks “professional.” Iron Chef, watch out!
Well, someone’s in the kitchen with Lulu to make her and much of our neighborhood so happy this week. Someone besides her fellow campers and counselors and bff Mia. It’s the angel who looks over her shoulder while she’s stirring those pots and washing those pans, all so she can please the full table of people she’ll come home to.

Hello Colleen,
A friend of mine gave me one of your magazines, for me to read an article she had written. I was completely blown away, to say the least! I didn't even know there was a magazine called "Angels". After reading 3 of these wonderful little jewels, I was hooked and am now writing to get my own subscription for a year. Even though I have NO idea how I will pay for this, since I am not able to work and my beloved husband of 34 years, as of today August 7th, has not worked since March over a year ago. He really isn't able to work and I have just applied for my Social Security Disability and still do not know when that will be approved. But I have found out more than once, God Does Answer Prayers and there are Angels around us daily!
I know all about Angels since I too was visited not too long ago and I sat down and cried. Thanking God the whole time and staring at a brand new one hundred dollar bill in my hand, shaking the whole time and still white as a sheet and in disbelief that I had just been visited by my own Angel. I had just ask God, "How am I going to pay my electric bill that week, since I still needed $ 100.00 dollars"? I do not ask anymore! I just pray and say "Thank you, Dear Jesus" for all my bills to be paid. Then I always try to say, "Thank you, Jesus in advance, for the money". My husband is still a doubting Thomas, but not me, anymore.
Our son, was just accepted to Texas Bible Institute in Columbus, Texas and that too has been a miracle! I give Jesus Christ ALL the glory and continue to pray for our healing and finances everyday!
"Thank you" for this precious little book called Angels! I can hardly wait to get my first one through the mail and until then, I will keep checking your website and reading each day online, the wonderful things you write and any other stories from all your viewers.
All My Love An Angel Believer,
