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

a debt of love...

In preparation for an appointment with the eye doctor... it occurs... the 92-years... a lot like 2-years...

Getting anywhere... always takes longer than anticipated...
unpredictable bathroom habits...
potential for mishaps...
and technical difficulties abound...

An endeavor... requiring love...

Today... my dad would have been 91...

I look at this 92... and it makes me miss my dad... whose been gone 14 years... and mom... gone 19...

Neither lived to the point of needing long... term... care...
so through the elder-in-law... I am privileged and blessed...

No telling how long this season will last...
I have a friend... whose live-in-elder-in-law... has 103 years...

My prayer... that I will continue... to recognize... blessing and privilege... of the 92-years in our home... remembering the only debt I owe... is one of love...

Let no debt remain outstanding,
except the continuing debt to love one another...
Romans 3:18

For I would not have my loved ones... husband... kids... no family of my own... without the 92-years...

Lord... fill me with Your love... Your joy... 
of laying down life... for a friend...
