Eat
Love these words spoken by Julia Child, once upon a time......
"People who love to eat are always the best people."
But one step further....I revel in not just those people
who love to eat.........but the ones who love to
linger, wallow, immerse, frequent, gather,
spend vast amounts of time......
and not just for the food.
And the crowd, be it two or twenty two,
as they set about the table
in that kitchen, the soul of the house
Hearts assemble and share, catch up, become accepted....
while chopping, stirring, mixing, sipping, stirring, creating.
Because it's not just about the food...these times when we draw near,
for celebration or for the everyday, is it?
It's about the power of the gathering......
Doesn't it inspire us to be more?
More joyful, more reflective, more happy?
More alive?
Old or young, host or guest, newcomer or 'regular,'
all gathered, expectantly, for sustenance of body and soul.....
we restore one another.....
we are each other's refreshment, indulgence, tonic.
Have you heard about the
What are you waiting for??

there is totally something so special that happens as we spend time together and eat. Sharing a meal together is the best way to get to know people other than a counsellor's office! Our church has a monthly pizza lunch to meet people and our other house church always starts with a morning tea. FMF neighbour
