Nature is the Art of God

6/25/2012

So one of our summer projects is to work on this little organic garden in our backyard. So far we have had an abundance of tomatoes and these spicy jalapeno peppers.
The tomatoes taste so divine. You could almost eat them whole just like a fruit (which technically it is but let's not start the debate here). Anyway we are truly enjoying these delicious garden produce and saving money too. Being amateur gardeners (my hubby claims he's an expert) we are both scratching our heads about why the tomatoes all have these cracks at the top. Would be happy to hear from the true gardening experts who could give us a good answer to this question.
However I'll venture to say here that even as we ponder the little quirks of Mother Nature there is no question that Nature truly is the art of God.
Love and Blessings

Interesting little Tidbit about Tomatoes: A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. Research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and
blood food. Read more here

A Shared Meal is a good opportunity to share the Good News

Last weekend I got together with some friends for a cooking class. It got me thinking about how much food has the potential to unify us across places, religion and cultures. When we sit at a table and break bread together there is something rather disarming about that shared meal.
As we chopped, stirred and mixed, we talked and laughed in the same language even though we were from different religions and from far flung corners of the globe - From as far as Peru in the South to Honduras, Caribbean islands, USA , as far North as Canada and as far East as Turkey and Uzbekistan - a global melting pot so to speak. We drank chai together after our meal and as the conversation swirled around me, my mind drifted to a quote by Greg Mortensen, author of the book, Three Cups of Tea - "First cup of tea, you're a stranger, Second cup, a friend, by the third you're family. And as I write this I'm reminded of Easter and our Lord's Last Supper " While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” 27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
I am looking forward to dining with my Savior, my Lord and friend at that sumptuous meal in His kingdom where we will all partake as one big family of God.
I can hardly imagine how much fun it will be....
