When was the last time you ‘broke bread’ with your family,
friends, workmates, anyone??
Really ‘broke bread’. Laid the table, got the best china
out!! Took time and cooked your food with love and sat around a table with
people you really wanted to share with ……………
Food is about sharing, passion, love, laughter, humanity,
honesty a connection between souls – when was the last time you connected
Today make a plan call someone, call friends, have them
over, cook with love and connect, you will feel so much joy for it – it’s the ‘pitch
and catch’ of life
“Feasting is the flame in mid-winter,that kindles the fire
of friendship and strengthens the community”
Whether they are
cultural gatherings, times of group worship, or even special dinners with friends,
we all need moments where we come together and reaffirm the importance of our group.
The cheer that we feel
is essential both to the collective and the individuals involved. The
affirmation of the group should not be a sublimation of the individual but
rather a framework for involvement. A good gathering requires participation the
efforts of organization, work, and attendance and in turn gives back sustenance
for body and soul, a sense of belonging and the accomplishment of something
that could not be done by individuals alone
