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

endings...

Endings...
I've been thinking about them recently...
some are sad... out of your control...
others... reasons to rejoice... pursuits achieved...

Some endings take a long time to process...
this week an ending more than a decade old...
was stirred afresh by consideration of a next step...

Unexpected emotions welled...
leaving me wondering... Why...?

Another ending comes next week...
a joy for a loved one...
a next big step...

Wondering what emotions will rise...?

Endings...
I'm not particularly sure I like them...
they generally come with change...

Change always calls for processing...
letting go of old ways...
setting new sights...

And I'm reminded of One Who has no end...
the One who never changes...
the One on whom a life can always depend...

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
"The Lord is my portion," says my soul,
therefore I will hope in him."
Lamentations 3:22-24 ESV
