Even in my spiritual life when God blesses me, there are leftovers people around can enjoy. A life so blessed, blesses everybody around. | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story We always have prayer before we eat and I must confess I had a very abbreviated prayer because I wanted to get into those leftovers. Every bite seemed more delicious than the previous bite. How my wife can take leftovers and mix it all up into a marvelously delicious supper I will never know. I do not need to know. All I need to do is enjoy the delicacy of her cuisine art. For the next week, we enjoyed leftovers every suppertime. The last night the table was not quite as full as before and my wife informed me that this was the last of the leftovers. Of course, my heart sank within me realizing that the delicious aspect of the holiday banqueting was about to come to a close. I never realized before how much I loved those leftovers. I don't know if it is because I am getting older, or, if I am just recognizing things I've never recognized before. There is a little bit of magic associated with putting together leftovers and making them more delicious than the original setting. As I finished the last of the leftovers I thought of something Jesus said after he fed the multitude, “When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost” (John 6:12). Even in my spiritual life when God blesses me, there are leftovers people around can enjoy. A life so blessed, blesses everybody around. Tweet
