I just watched, for the umpteenth time, the movie, “Born Yesterday” and, as usual. I was crying and laughing at the same time. Every time that I know that it is on I watch it and have watched it over and over again.

Beach, I know that you are in the Wash, D.C. area so that I thought I would post this message for you.

Sorry I’m late...I’m trying for the fourth time to get the ping done. The phone keeps ringing with business calls.

Good night and have a good one.

Food That Says I Love You

Bible in a Year:

• Job 36–37
• Acts 15:22–41

He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them.

Luke 22:19

I attended a family birthday gathering where the hostess wove the theme of “favorite things” into the decor, the gifts, and—best of all—the food. Because the birthday girl loved steak and salad—and white chocolate raspberry Bundt cake—the hostess grilled steak, spun spinach, and ordered that favorite cake. Favorite foods say, “I love you.”

The Bible contains many references to banquets, feasts, and festivals, pairing the physical act of eating with celebrations of God’s faithfulness. Feasting was a part of the sacrificial system of worship practiced by the Israelites (see Numbers 28:11–31), with Passover, the festival of weeks, and new moon feasts held every month. And in Psalm 23:5, God prepares a table with an abundant meal and cups overflow with mercy and love. Perhaps the most lavish pairing of food and wine ever expressed was when Jesus broke a piece of bread and took a cup of wine, illustrating the gift of His death on a cross for our salvation. He then challenged us to “do this in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19).

As you partake of food today, take a moment to consider the God who made both mouth and stomach and offers food to you as a language of His love in celebration of His faithfulness. Ours is a God who feasts with the faithful, pairing His perfect provision with our great need, saying, “I love you.”

Reflect & Pray

What is a favorite food that you use in celebration? How can you thank God as you enjoy food today?

Thank You, God, for all You faithfully provide, including my daily bread and my very salvation.

Work interfers again...sorry the ping is late.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...have you and Tippy had more lessons?

[luvie]

Who was in that one?

[luvie]

You need a vacation more than anyone else I know! LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

The weekend is in sight...are you ready? I sure am. This week has been trying to say the very least. LOL!

William Holden, Judy Holiday and Broderick Crawford. It’s about Ms. Holiday becoming enlightened by the wonders of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I call it a political-satire-comedy. I do, literally, cry and laugh at the same time because Ms. Holiday makes her enlightenment so real.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...resting before your next trip?

Is the sun shining yet? Stormy weather? We finally got a tiny bit of rain today...just a bit, but we’ll take it.

[luvie]

Might have to look into that one. I’m a big William Holden fan...but not so much, Judy Holiday. Her voice....

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Friday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country and thanks Beach for this morning's thread.

How's everyone doing this morning?
