Kristofer and Food Enough to Eat

Food enough to eat and be filled

This morning Kristofer shares a reflection on food, feeding others, and being changed by the experience. As Kristofer prepares a portion of their family meal during the SSS reflection, one can’t help but wonder what God has cookin’ for our faith community. As we find ways to share fellowship and grow together, during this challenging time, God is stirring all sorts of things up.

Later today, we will distribute literally tons of food to our neighbors through Pantry- on-the-Go and with our new partner Baltimore County Together. Thank you again for all those who are supporting this vital ministry effort.

In the backdrop of that drive-thru food distribution scene stands our Community Garden, some of you have been coming and going recently from planting and weeding there in preparation for the growing season ahead. It is amazing to see what the garden yields, but even more beautiful to see the harvest shared. There are all sorts of vegetables going in, but there is still room for you to grow if you are interested. What we do with the time we have been given and how we share the bounty we have been given are important matters for us all to pray about, consider thoughtfully, and act upon.

As referenced in the video reflection:

1 Kings 17:7-16 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

7 But after a while the wadi dried up, because there was no rain in the land.

8 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, 9 “Go now to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and live there; for I have commanded a widow there to feed you.” 10 So he set out and went to Zarephath. When he came to the gate of the town, a widow was there gathering sticks; he called to her and said, “Bring me a little water in a vessel, so that I may drink.” 11 As she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, “Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.” 12 But she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of meal in a jar, and a little oil in a jug; I am now gathering a couple of sticks, so that I may go home and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.” 13 Elijah said to her, “Do not be afraid; go and do as you have said; but first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterwards make something for yourself and your son. 14 For thus says the Lord the God of Israel: The jar of meal will not be emptied and the jug of oil will not fail until the day that the Lord sends rain on the earth.” 15 She went and did as Elijah said, so that she as well as he and her household ate for many days. 16 The jar of meal was not emptied, neither did the jug of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elijah.
