Nourishment for body and soul

In our office, where there is a desk for my husband and one for myself, there is no shortage of snapshots. On Adam's desk there are photos of friends, family, vacations, beautiful places and me (of course). My desk has a similar assortment, although most of the photos are of people I love. One odd theme I just noticed is how many of those photos were taken during a meal, a special event where food was served, or in anticipation of some tasty treats. From weddings, to Thanksgiving, to a beach-side pick-nick, food and those we share it with become an integral part of our happiest memories.

Have you ever noticed this? Even though we eat every single day, we still get excited about special meals and time with loved ones. This leads me to believe that there is some deep, maybe in-born connection we have between feeding our bodies and feeding our souls. Even church has a special meal meant to remind us of our Lord and His grace toward us. Maybe this week, if you use these tools, you might find a little more joy and a little more pleasure in preparing and serving these meals knowing that when you feed someone's body their soul isn't far behind. May the bread of life satisfy your hunger.

Good luck and eat well!
