Bread for the Journey


This is not a recipe I am sharing today, the photo does fit into my story though.

"What would you do if Jesus came to spend some time with you?"  I heard this song playing on the radio today, a song from long ago, it caught my attention 'what would I do?'
-would I serve him a delicious meal plated up beautifully like the photo above?
-would I place my opened Bible on the coffee table to a favorite passage and  honestly say I had been reading His book faithfully and doing what it teaches?
-would I re-arrange my schedule and take time to sit and listen to Him?
Of course I would want to do all this and more, to give Him my best. I would also want Him to know that I would strive to be more attentive to the needs of others, reaching out a helping hand when needed.
This is my prayer then, that I will be obedient to do God's will. To live my life in such a way that I would not be ashamed to 'have Jesus come to spend some time with me.'

Matthew 25: 40
.. 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

  5. I would be THRILLED to have Jesus come spend time with me "physically" - I would definitely make Him my breaded, fried chicken cutlets (that I make for everyone I love or want to feed their heart...) But I am one of the lucky ones that Jesus spends time with me EVERY DAY, maybe not physically, but mentally/spiritually... Whenever I need Him, I call on Him and He visits with me at a moment's notice. He is great that way, a great listener. And each person, as I think everyone basically knows but sometimes forgets, can have Him be a spiritual visitor with them, whenever they want Him and need Him too. :)
    Thanks for a great post and a great reminder that Jesus is with us every day.
    Best,
    Gloria

  8. I heard that song many years ago and it made a great impression on me. I haven't thought of the words in a long time so thanks for reminding me to watch how I live even more carefully. I enjoy this blog very much. It's so nice to get food for the soul as well as for the body. God bless.----Shannon
