It's Truly All About Food

WOW. What a week-end! It started well going out to eat with long time friends that we don't get to see much after my son's high school b-ball team beat their arch rival. Then Saturday night the men of the church fixed a beautiful and delicious Valentine's dinner followed by challenging games like each couple trying to gift wrap a box with your left hand. Then in Sunday school, we started the 1st chapter of Daniel. Guess what? It was all about food- the Lord blessed Daniel, had him eat veges and in "matters of wisdom and understanding" the king found Daniel "ten times better" than all the other wise men of the land. Since we had left overs, we had a another great meal after church- we looked like a crowded Last Supper. Then I made a healthier Brunswick Stew for my son's b-ball coach's family who's wife just had major surgery and will be out of the kitchen for a while. I used quick cooking barley instead of the hash browns. Taste good and healthier and I'm thrilled at my creative twist. Then, Lisa(cooking co-op expert and friend) and I surprised our 5:30am tennis gang with a beautiful bouquet of candy bars and home-made french toast to remind them not to forget Valentines. Maybe the guys let us win a few more games, we had fun talking around the table, and our week is off to a good start. What wisdom we gain by sitting around a table with family and friends and enjoying communion! Amen.
