A Feast of Love

Bible in a Year:

• Isaiah 62–64
• 1 Timothy 1

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. John 6:51 In the Danish film Babette’s Feast, a French refugee appears in a coastal village. Two elderly sisters, leaders of the community’s religious life, take her in, and for fourteen years Babette works as their housekeeper. When Babette comes into a large sum of money, she invites the congregation of twelve to join her for an extravagant French meal of caviar, quail in puff pastry, and more.

As they move from one course to the next, the guests relax; some find forgiveness, some find love rekindled, and some begin recalling miracles they’d witnessed and truths they’d learned in childhood. “Remember what we were taught?” they say. “Little children, love one another.” When the meal ends, Babette reveals to the sisters that she spent all she had on the food. She gave everything—including any chance of returning to her old life as an acclaimed chef in Paris—so that her friends, eating, might feel their hearts open.

Jesus appeared on earth as a stranger and servant, and He gave everything so that our spiritual hunger might be satisfied. In John’s gospel, He reminds His listeners that when their ancestors wandered hungry in the wilderness, God provided quail and bread (Exodus 16). That food satisfied for a time, but Jesus promises that those who accept Him as the “bread of life” will “live forever” (John 6:48, 51). His sacrifice satisfies our spiritual cravings.

Reflect & Pray

How has God satisfied your hunger? What might it look like for you to give sacrificially?

Jesus, thank You for giving Your body and blood for us.

The weather was MAGNIFICENT. Add to that the fall color and the almost-deserted beaches of Cape Cod in the off-season, and we had a great time. We went to visit our parents’ final resting place at the National Cemetery in Bourne, which was very touching and emotional for both of us. Then we proceeded down to Dennisport, where we stayed in a “tiny house” which made my trailer look like a palace :-) It was cute and clean and efficient, and had everything we needed, but for two women and a large dog was a wee bit cramped.

Fortunately, some restaurants and pubs were still open, and a few antique shops, but we mostly hiked. Penny LOVED it. But she is not fond of the ocean, and when my sister took off her shoes and rolled up her pant-legs to wade in the surf, Penny went into panic mode, and tried to “rescue” her from the water. She tugged on her sleeve and attempted to drag sis out of the surf, and wouldn’t give up until my sister relented and came back up onto the sand. Perhaps Penny knew that there had been many shark reports in the area or maybe she could sense them. or maybe she just doesn’t like salt water. Who knows? But now I know that penny is very protective, not only of me , but of my sister as well.

Good Girl!

Witnesses on the ground said the plane circled before coming down, indicating Kingsley may have tried to save his own life by making a crash landing in a field.

As selfless as he was, he was also probably doing his utmost to keep the plane from crashing in the middle of the village.

Looks like a bad one. One of our storm chasers is at a shopping center that’s heavily damaged. A mess all over the parking lot. :-( Several people there and he didn’t see anyone who was injured and that’s a good thing. He can’t get out of the parking lot due to debris so is helping people who work in one of the restaurants.
