“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” -1 Corinthians 10:31 Food is a beautiful gift from God that I feel sad to think we all miss. Our enemy has stolen this gift through so many means; food that is not really food, diet fads, our society’s need for physical perfection, food villainizing (certain food being “bad”) and so much busyness that we cannot properly enjoy food as it is meant to be enjoyed. Food is so much more than fuel. Food is connection. It is meant to connect us to the land from which it comes, to the people with whom we share it, to the atmosphere in which it is shared, the memories it produces, and mostly with Him who blesses us with it all. I am on a journey far greater than that of fasting from sugar. I am on a quest to truly discover this gift that He has given. This amazing thing called food, is like Him, you know. It gives us life and without it we die. ]]>
Dear Pam….I have been on the same discovery journey as you, and yet, I have been led here. Amazing how Our Lord works!
For the past month and a half, I have been re-discovering food. Food from the perspective of My Lord’s view not mine. I am learning to eat correctly all that He created for our nourishment.
It is a process…I am far from reaching the goal of complete weight-loss, but the journey is not as treacherous as I first imagined it.
Thank you for sharing yourself…I have enjoyed every single one of these posts.
