My husband and I went to Royal Fork, our favorite buffet, for dinner today. You see, seniors can always eat a dollar cheaper, any day, any meal. Then they give you a little yellow card and stamp it once for each meal you purchase. When you get ten stamps, you get a free meal. Not bad, eh? Better yet, one day a week is a special seniors' day and you get TWO free stamps! The day changes each month; this month it's Thursdays. Rex is in charge of the seniors' group at our church; and for a year, now, on the last double stamp day of the month, our Prime Timers, as we call them, go to Royal Fork. They love it. We have anywhere from 14 to 29 who attend.
Today I asked myself how I could "spiritualize" the experience for a blog. Was that ever easy! Don't know how I could have missed it before!
We have to eat spiritually, of course. At least we do if we want to grow in our walk with the Lord. And we know that our spiritual food is the Word of God.
Believe it or not, the Bible is one giant smorgasbord! What do you like to eat? History? Try the Old Testament, or the book of Acts. Do you prefer poetry? How about Psalms? Maybe you prefer selfhelp reading with lots of wisdom and advice. Then Proverbs is right down your alley. How about Christian romance? Try the book of Solomon! Is letter writing your thing? Read Paul's letters in the New Testament. Do you like excitement? Maybe the book of Daniel will satisfy you. Interested in end-time events? Try Revelation. Are you one of these people who like "gorry" things? Try reading about Old Testament practices when a conquering king would cut off the big toes of conquered generals after a war! Or behead them and hang their bodies up on the city wall! Whatever you enjoy, it's all there, just suited to your taste.
How long has it been since you've "stuffed" yourself at a "Spiritual Smorgasbord?"
