Food for Soul and Body

Beets, tomatoes, cabbage, potatoes, corn, squash---You open your hand and provide for every living thing, O Lord! The perfect variety of food, the range of colors and textures and tastes and nutrients are a miracle of everyday life.

Not only has God provided for our health, but for our taste and our sense of beauty and variety. We marvel at what we see in the garden even before we appreciate the range of tastes and textures. The earth proclaims not only the glory of God, but His exquisite love and care for the children of men.

We see, we enjoy, and our souls are satisfied with goodness even as our bodies are nourished and our health sustained.
