Relish, Appreciate, Love

Relish, Appreciate, Love


“Why did you eat it all? Leave some for others.” “You complain all the time. Why can’t I?”  “All you do is work. Why don’t you spend time with us?”

Food is a gift and wonderful source of energy not an opportunity to be gluttonous. Complaining is a direct insult to God about the life you have been blessed with. Work is a place to exhibit your skills and it will pay the bills, but it won’t fill the intimate space in people that requires love.

Relish, appreciate and enjoy love in your life, evade going through the motions or simply existing.

Inspired by Mark 2:23-28

One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grain fields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need of food? He entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and he gave some to his companions.” Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for humankind and not humankind for the Sabbath; so the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.
