Salad for Lunch


Today I am just relaxing.  This morning saw me escorting my mom to the local mall, well, mini-mall, and getting my crooked glasses straightened out- a result of taking a nap with them.  Once that was done my mom was in shopping mode, but not me.  I was in “Let’s get home” mode, but shop we did.  Fortunately, I was able to convince her all we had time for was groceries, like bananas, mikans, grapes and some meat.  Next, as I was thinking “Home, here we come” she was driving me to another store to buy some household items.  Boring, but necessary for life.  I was so exhausted I came home and took a nap, without glasses, and then I was sure lunch would be ready, but not!  Oh dear!  Starvation was about to set in, but Dad saved me with a snack.  At last this fantastic lunch showed his face, but he was only salad.  I hope dinner is a better fare, or I may waste away.  However, I am chagrinned to remember those who only eat once or twice a day.  I have three meals and nourishing snacks through the day. How dare I grumble.  Lord, forgive me for not appreciating Your abundant supply in my life, even if it is just salad.  “Give thanks in all things, and Jeffrey, that means you.”
“Okay, Lord.  I will work on this.  I want to obey.”
Now to get my stomach to agree.
