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

love lays down

Monday morning... checking email after a weekend away... a request to pray... once a week for a specific mission... the day of the week my choice... morning or night... my choice... I put it aside to consider...

A day with my daughter... her concern for the dogs turned into an unplanned trip to the vet... (rabies shots due anyway...)

Daughter's desire to plan dinners for the week... my input required... recipes to be found... grocery list to be made...

A call from the doctor... follow up on a complication from daughter's oral surgery... still a problem... another unexpected appointment... a trip to town... (we needed to go to the store anyway... all those groceries to buy...)

Hours later... home... groceries put away... dinner begun... another request... Mom... do you have time to watch a show with me...? Yes... of course... my college daughter... (who's hardly home anymore...) of course I have time...

Greater love has no one than this,
that he lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:13

My day... not my own... my plans... put aside... laid down... for love...

The request to pray... brought back to mind... Yes... I will lay down my life for a friend...
