😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace be with you. Food can be a source of family memories, celebrations with friends, eating our emotions, and drowning our sorrows. But what is the true purpose of food? Life giving and life preserving nutrition. Watching my mother-in-law these past few months has very much been an eye opening experience to the power of food. Medication side effects have robbed her of any desire to eat or drink. Pound by pound, smaller and smaller she grows. Without her needed nourishment she becomes weaker and weaker, just trying to survive. At His final Passover feast Jesus Christ offered His disciples His very Body and Blood to feed and nourish them for their challenging journey ahead. He knew that without His heavenly food to nourish them, they would spiritually wither away until all that was left was dry bones. But it’s not just the nourishment that’s been breaking her down. Lack of rest has caused confusion and makes it difficult to concentrate, which then affects the ability to comprehend. To be strong and thrive in this life, you need the nourishment, rest, and clarity that only the Lord can offer you. Without Him to keep you bright and fuel the lamp that lights your path, you will soon find yourself in darkness and confusion. Purposefully seek the nourishment and rest your body, mind, and spirit are so desperately longing for, that only He can offer. Bless others and be blessed.
