Prayer Praise: Day 26

Nehemiah 8:10 NKJV
[10] Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

“Food is love,” the Italians say (I am half Italian).

I enjoyed a really good panini for lunch today. It had white cheese, fresh greens, and delightfully crunchy bread.

The fresh greens on the side had parmesan cheese and a delicious balsamic glaze dressing.

Sometimes, we just need a tasty treat.

Not every day has to align with a strict diet.

Jesus manifested food for his disciples and followers during the course of his ministry. He knew the value of food to build a community.

Serving good food blesses and nourishes our loved ones.

I watched the movie Nonnas on Netflix, and it made me want to eat a cannoli! The movie featured mouth-watering Italian food and a heartwarming true story about a man who opened a restaurant in Stratton Island, New York, and hired real Italian grandmas instead of professional chefs.

The Lord knows how to uplift our spirits, especially when we need something to make us laugh or smile.

Amen.
