All day long I've been chopping, stewing, canning, preserving, baking and cooking. Why? Well, because I didn't have enough homework to occupy my time. Right! I've got an abundance of summer vegetables right now and they're wonderful! But as lovely as they are, I can only eat so many. So in an effort to save all this goodness for some time in deep winter when I'm craving a fresh vegetable and don't want to have it shipped to me from Argentina, I'm trying to save it all now. Sure, it won't be the same but there's something awesome in the process and I'm like a kid at Christmas, having to keep myself from opening every sealed jar. (And thanking God for the one that didn't seal and I get to eat soon!)
So today, I've been thinking about saving....and salvation. So from all this comes my table blessing. It's short, but to me it encompasses a lot.
To the God of abundance,
Who saves.
We give you thanks.
Amen.
