I have rarely been as thankful for eggs on toast as I was this morning. I’m getting my energy back and the feeling of carrying a rock in my stomach is finally leaving me. Once again the simple exercise of eating like much of the world eats as given me an appreciation for how good I have it and how I take food for granted. Millions and millions of people can’t get a good meal which means they don’t receive the nutrition they need which makes it more difficult to work or even think clearly. While the decision to participate in ELA is a personal one (as it should be) many people have missed out the experience because ELA was too inconvenient. That makes me sad. So many missed out on an eye opening experience–not to mention a quick way to loose weight. While I’m grateful to be eating more than rice and bits of protein today I’m even more grateful that I have a choice. I also have a choice about what to do with the surpluses that I enjoy. How will I use the resources God has given me and Jesus will hold me responsible for? We all have options and so much of what we do/use is far beyond necessity. The week might be over the lesson has only begun.
