In a small Tennessee town during the 1930’s, the Great Depression had left nearly every family poor and uncertain of their next meal.  One particular schoolteacher, Miss Eleanor, began to notice several students would show up with hollow eyes and empty lunch pails.
 
Rather than let the children go hungry, she started preparing large pots of soup and cornbread every morning, often giving away her own meals to see her class fed.  One afternoon, a boy named Samuel stayed behind after class and handed her a folded note.  It read, “Thank you for filling my stomach, but more than that, thank you for filling my heart.”
