Called to Order

This was the title to a great sermon my husband gave yesterday. He cited Gen.1 and in the creation account, God created order out of chaos. We think of order and organization as being dry and restraining to our creativity when in fact order brings life and beauty. Our oldest daughter could not keep her room straight in high school- there was 1 foot of clothes, papers and books on her floor. Now that she is a marketing editor of a decorating magazine, she very much cares about order to her room and clothes closet as she implements her decorating talents in her own apartment. I have been taking a break from cooking co-op and I miss the order and rhythm that comes from knowing that if it's Tuesday, it's my night to cook. I miss the team approach to having an answer to what's for dinner. I miss the variety of other cooks sharing some of their favorite recipes. I miss the cost savings of cooking in quantity 1 meal a week and the cost savings of less waste- I hate finding a mildewed expensive red pepper tucked in the back of my refrig I thought I might need one day. So a call to orderly cooking and team work can bring beautiful colorful veges, fruits and meats to your table and can add spice to your life.
