From the Pen of Reverend Terry                

Holy Meals

Potlucks, covered dish lunches whatever you call them

Holy meals made by faithful hands

Deviled eggs, jello salads, brownies

Comfort foods, family specialties,

 Dishes made from scratch and a few store bought delicacies

Kringles when the time is right

Some months are the table looks like a Lenten fast

With hardly a bite of meat amid the salads and side dishes

Another month it seems we need stick to the ribs

Food -meatloaf, meatballs, casseroles, potatoes, pasta

Like marathoners loading up on carbs the night before a race

Other times the dessert table groans with

Sheet cakes and cookies, sweet cobblers and pies

A feast indeed rich and flavorful

We fuss sometimes – its too much work

But still we come and bring the things we used to cook

When we used to cook for more than one

The Spirit plans the menu

Knowing exactly what we need even when we don’t

Making sure there is always more than enough

To feed our hungry souls

                                                          Many blessings, Terry
