Yesterday was the best July 4th I've experienced in years! David and I got up early and went to the Unionville 4th of July Celebration. The music was fabulous an I was reunited with several of my old friends from different ministry opportunities over the years. It was good to see them all!
We left the event around noon and I came home to a garden full of fresh vegatables. So, I got really creative and combined the okra, squash, onions and potatoes in a skillet and sauteed in olive oil. This mix of veggies was incredibly tasty, especially with a slice of fresh tomato alongside the plate.
This morning as I recalled how delicious those vegetables were mixed together, I was gently reminded that so are we! As Christian brothers and sisters, we are so much better together. Yesterday was proof of that point and I definitely enjoyed a hearty mix!
"Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another and working together with one heart and purpose."
A wonderful proposal. I wish everyone felt that way. But people tend to form bad opinions way too early in life and some preachers who claim to be followers of Jesus spout evil words about some people without thinking.
My mother used to do that with the early garden vegetables. I hated it at the time, wanting one vegetable at a time instead of mixed. But today I think I like to taste that concoction again. All we have are cherry tomatoes and huge British cucumbers. One is way too large, and the other is way too small. But when my partner cuts them up in manageable bite sized salads, the taste is glorious is so fresh.
I always think of the simple phrase… "There but for good fortune, go I."
