November 2009 our granddaughter, Tricia, wanted to cook all our Thanksgiving dinner. I was asked to put my grandmother's cornbread dressing recipe on an index card as well as the giblet gravy I make, and bring the ingredients when I brought the recipe cards so that Tricia could put it all together.
We did this and Tricia, on Thanksgiving day, baked the turkey, made the cornbread dressing, giblet gravy, deviled eggs and some other things, with a little help from her mama. She did a wonderful job and the food was excellent.
But there was one thing we found out. Tricia, nor our grandson Stevie, had ever eaten my dressing and giblet gravy. Tricia decided that since it had smelled so good while she was making it that she would try it. Stevie decided to as well. Tricia even went so far as to put the giblet gravy on top of the dressing. Stevie couldn't go that far for his food isn't 'allowed' to touch other food on his plate. But, they both ate the dressing and giblet gravy, where in years past neither would touch it.
It reminded me of Psalm 34:8 - just the first part of the verse. "Taste and see that the Lord is good".
What has God been trying to get you to do that you turn it away? Has he been wooing you to a special time with Him and you keep finding things to do so that you are too busy to spend time with Him?
Taste and see that the Lord is good. Take 5 minutes, close your eyes, quiet your mind, and focus upon Him. Tell Him you love Him and thank Him for His faithfulness and goodness to you. Taste the freshness of being in His Presence. It is good.
Blessings!
