Develope a Palate

Develope a Palate
Daily intake of the Word nourishes the Spirit. Jeremiah's Menu is an exercise in recognizing God's Word made flesh in and around me. Eating the Word in a way that supplies the spiritual nutrients needed to grow. The Menu is offered with the hope of inspiring you to taste and see that the Lord is good. Bon Appetite!

Quote Du Jour

Quote du Jour
Christians may differ on a variety of points, but they have all one spiritual appetite; and if we cannot all feel alike, we can all feed alike on the bread of life sent down from heaven. At the table of fellowship with Jesus we are one bread and one cup. As the loving cup goes round we pledge one another heartily therein. Get nearer to Jesus, and you will find yourself linked more and more in spirit to all who are like yourself, supported by the same heavenly manna. ---Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

weddings

Someone once pointed out that the ultimate happy-ending is a wedding... over and over great happy-ending stories conclude with a wedding... Cinderella... Snow White... Lord of the Rings... Pride and Prejudice... Hitch...

I just experienced a wedding... lots of beautiful people... joyfully gathered... singularly focused...




Unusual since half the party never laid eyes on the other half before... bride's family and friends... groom's family and friends... and they do party...

Food... dancing... celebration...

My family danced together for the first time ever! Only a wedding could provide the backdrop for such a joy in the midst of so many perfect strangers...

But... weddings feel more like a beginning than an end... maybe that's why they make great endings... they lead to a new beginning...

There's one more great story that ends with a wedding...

Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready...
Revelation 19:6-7
ESV
(emphasis mine)

Jesus's story... or is it a beginning...
