Susan LaffertyIn our first meeting, I describe to the new believer how a follower of Jesus sets aside time and space every day. For focused communion with the Lord.
This conversation on abiding continues each time we meet.
We talk about the soul’s need for daily food from the Truth of Scripture.
And how to come before Him with mind and heart open to His Word.
Favorite flavors and dishes multiply in the cross-cultural life. Leading to this, that, or the other taste of home.
Our grocery cart is often a wild mix. With differing ingredients for the week’s menus.
One day, I buy okra and chickpeas for Indian curry. Snow peas, lemongrass and baby bok choy for a Chinese stir-fry dish. And Japanese mochi. An afternoon snack or dessert.
Each cuisine serves up memories as well.
