The Last Jellybean
April 5, 2011

One afternoon Angela gave her young daughter four jellybeans and let her know that was all the candy she was going to receive.

After practically inhaling the first three candies, Eliana lingered over the final one. She sucked on it, took it out of her mouth, bit into it, sucked on it some more, then gnawed at the outer shell. Knowing that this was her last jellybean, she took a full 45 minutes to ingest the treat completely.

Angela observed her little girl with amusement. It occurred to her that she was watching Eliana learn the value of savoring—enjoying taste and texture and learning to draw out every possible bit of flavor from the pleasurable experience.

When we read, “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good” (Ps. 34:8), we can be sure that God wants us to “savor” His presence. He allows us to gain intimate and satisfying knowledge of Him. And when we meditate on His Word, we will draw out a deeper understanding of who He is (Ezek. 3:1-3). As we taste His goodness and love, He will reveal the distinctive flavor of His creativity, sovereignty, holiness, and faithfulness.

Our Father must look on with enjoyment as we learn how to enjoy and savor Him.

 

Oh, taste the goodness of the Lord
And savor all that He has done;
Draw close and give your praise to Him—
The holy, sovereign, faithful One. —Sper

 

Our greatest privilege is to enjoy God’s presence.

Read: Psalm 34:1-10

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good . . . . Those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. —Psalm 34:8,10

Bible in a year:
1 Samuel 1-3; Luke 8:26-56

Well I didn't make it here yesterday and it looks like I won't be here today. Today I am going to lunch with some "high school friends." I wasn't sure I could go but one friend almost begged me to come so I caved. I love to be with them but over the last week I have had so much going on my plate that I've been worn out.

I stocked up on groceries yesterday and at the price of groceries, I almost go into shock when I see the bill. I have been buying Oscar Meyer bacon for about the last 4 times I have bought bacon. It has been $3.99 a package each time I bought it (which wasn't weekly..maybe every 2 weeks) and yesterday the same bacon was $4.99. Just floored me. Went up a whole dollar. And so has everything else! With gas and groceries at the highest I've ever seen them, I wonder what this miraculous superman President intends to do about it. (by the way thats a joke ya know!)

I am actually thinking of taking a little leave of absence for a while. Spring is telling me what all I have to do and sometimes I just get overwhelmed. I am not as energetic as I once was and my work takes a lot longer to do. I will see what I must do. Maybe I can just pop in now and then and say hello, until I get caught up with all the things I have let go so long.

I love each and everyone of you all (my FRiends) and I will pop in and see ya when I can.

Oh, my goodness - FRY BREAD! Yes!

Here on the high desert of Arizona,
We often see roadside stands,
with Native Amreicans cooking fry bread.

No one can beat the wonderful taste and aroma
Of freshly made fry bread under the open sky of the Southwest!

Good morning, Wayzata! I’m loving the view out the window this morning, as it reminds me of Colorado!
I think I’ll have the Bacon, Eggs(over easy),& hashbrowns!Along with that, I’ll have a small O.J., coffee and a cinnamon roll with my breakfast! Thank you!

I love that song, Billie!
(Great graphic to go with it, too!)
Have a wonderful Spring Tuesday!

[lonestar]

Where’s the recipe?

[yorkie]

I know what you mean about the cost of groceries JC, - and the cost of gas is rising too! I only buy what is on sale at the grocery store, unless it is a necessity.

Have fun at your lunch today, and enjoy your visit with your friends.

See you soon, I hope!

[tiapam]

Sorry you have so much to do, but understand, especially with weather improving! Hope to see you here when you can pop in! Don’t work too hard! LOL!

[tiapam]
