Meal plan


Being single has its challenges, but it also has its perks. With no hubby or kids to worry about I really can just whip something out of the cupboard, with no need to worry about gourmet taste. So when planning a meal for a friend or entertaining come up, I often find myself thinking about the meal plan hours, sometimes days before.

I wonder what thoughts Jesus must have had as he planned the last supper with his disciples? He knew the plan and he knew that this would be the last moments of joy he would share with his now beloved friends before he would turn not only his, but their worlds upside down.

I know Jesus would have thought of every detail the same way we would and I'm sure that his heart burned as the moment drew near for the supper to begin. Jesus knew he would die, but he also knew he would rise again and that he would be reunited with his disciples.

For most of us, we will not know the day or the hour that God has chosen for our departure. Every meal shared with family or friends is special. Enjoy those moments of closeness and learn to communicate your love for your guests at every opportunity.
