Beautifully inviting and lovingly made extras. That is dessert.
It's not necessary for survival, just . . . special.
His desserts are extra special . . . because we are loved so dearly that He not only offers Bread of Life, but gives us access to His kingdom. He pardoned our sins and then gave us dessert!
O taste and see that the Lord is good;
How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
Psalm 34:8
The kingdom of God is dessert. Walking in the blessings of knowing Him, coming to Him as a trusting child, and tasting His goodness.
And Jesus said to them (His disciples),
"To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God . . ."
Mark 4:11
Heavenly Father, what are my desserts today?
Smells of a hot breakfast on a below zero morning . . .
Warmth of a fire in the wood burner . . .
Noticing the pretty little chick-a-dee on the bird feeder . . .
A florescent pink sun rise . . .
Sounds of laughter around our table . . .
Joy-krinkles around the eyes of my husband . . .
Giggles from visiting cookie decorators . . .
Phone calls from our gone-away children . . .
Old friends sharing around our table . . .
Dishwashers . . .
Snow blowing like crystals in the wind . . .
Scarf and mittens made by Cora . . .
Smells of chili cooking on the stove top . . .
Flannel shirts . . .
Candles on the table . . .
Mama reminding me of God's goodness right where I am . . .
And I begin to feel stuffed with the desserts of His kingdom.
May you enjoy many desserts this season!
Love always,
Angie
