Soul Food

One thing we all seem to have in common, is a love for food. Really, it's pathetic. Whether we eat bangers and mash, beans and rice, or a hamburger and fries, we all seem to find comfort in food. We all know what we like and how we like it.

Christmas is no different. This very minute my mother is making gingerbread cookies, and the smell is wonderful! But the truth is "stinky". While children around the world struggle to stay alive, we gorge ourselves (myself included) with candies, cookies, and big dinners. Bookstores are filled with cookbooks, perhaps how to decorate cute cupcakes, but nothing about the fact that 25,000 children die everyday from hunger.

However, I'm not sharing this so we can feel guilty. Yes, take action to a line your food habits, but I'm thinking of something much more important--soul food.

Are you being fed by spiritual food? Or, are you being fueled by friends, pastimes, and fun? When you taste the feast God has prepared for you, you'll realize what you're missing out on.

Taste some spiritual food!
