Hot Water Cornbread and Ham Steaks with Red Eye Gravy
It's a meal that reminds him of home.
It's a meal that his Momma used to make when
he was a little boy.
It's a meal that just by smelling it cooking in the kitchen
brings him comfort.
It reminds him of his roots.
Isn't it interesting how food can do such a thing - bring comfort and remind us of days gone by?
I've very excited about tomorrow....
...we're taking a quick little trip to TEXAS!!!
In April 2009, my husband followed the Lord's calling to a wonderful church in New Orleans, La. So we packed up all of our belongings into a moving trailer (didn't know we had so much "stuff") and our minivan and headed East!
We're really enjoying 'Nawlins and especially all the new foods - like gumbo, jambalaya, and Monday's sacred Red Beans & Rice!
I believe the Lord wants us to enjoy our food. Did you know He uses the word "taste" over 30 times throughout the Old & New Testaments!
Here are a couple of my favs:
Psalm 34:8 (ESV)
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
Psalm 119:03 (ESV)
How sweet are Your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth.
Just like foods can remind us of our roots and bring us comfort - so can the Word of the Lord. Let verses you learned as a child take you back to a place of refuge and warm your heart today.
I'm curious about something today...
Where are you from?
And what foods remind you of home?
If you're here from iFellowship... WELCOME!
I hope you grab a cup of your favorite beverage
and hang out with me a while!
