the mister and i now have the habit of saying grace before meals now that we are making our own family traditions. it is a comfort to me that i will be passing on positive influence on not just the mister but also to our future children and also to the people we meet in our everyday lives. The Lord's prayer is also something that we both feel deeply about because we find comfort and solace in the holy words... in any and every situation. i was struck by how these words "..and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who trespass against us..." could immediately follow words about sustenance "...give us this day our daily bread...". forgiveness is for the soul while the bread of life is for our everyday living. now thats food for thought!
lately, i have noticed the many remarkable positive changes the mister have adapted especially in his "trains" of thoughts. i've noticed he now applies his critical thinking skills! i am a proud happy hippo! as you know, we have been watching what we eat since the year started and trying to eat healthy and be conscious about our food intake as well as where we buy them. we now choose locally-grown food especially fruits and vegetables and as much as possible it has to be home-made.
and so this is why the other day, just out of the blue, he decided to bake healthy bread! using wholewheat flour, he was in the kitchen for only a matter of minutes and voila!
we had a laugh as he stuck our initials on top. it was easy-peasy, he said
here he is with a big smile on his face a few weeks ago when he made "rustic" pizza with home-made pizza dough :)
Bless us oh Lord and these thy gifts that we are about to receive from thy bounty. Amen!
