Let's EAT......!!!!

....well the last several days have been somewhat of a blur....

And here we are into a new week, ..... life didn't stop, it didn't even slow down,

    .....except for us...we slowed down to a stop....and we remembered......and we cried......

Then we remembered and cried some more...and then we ate. Have your ever wondered why we share a meal after something like this happens??? I can't help but think that it is a comforting thing... and of course it makes the burden a little lighter for those at the center of it. It is one less thing to think about for a little while.....it also gives you time to bond a little more with those around you ......or re-acquaint you with those you haven't seen in awhile, it gives us strength physically, mentally, as well as emotionally.......it just connects us.........

....I am asking you to pay-it-forward... in honor of Mike...take someone to lunch or coffee, this week or next week, or the week after...... don't wait to make the plans...enjoy their company, enjoy the food and celebrate life....you never know when it will be over...and when you ask the blessing for the food, say a prayer for Mike's family..for the Lord's grace and mercy, and especially for his everlasting and sustaining love over them these next several months, as they will be the hardest....thanks....
