Scripture:
Psalms 63:2
To some the thought of cooking a big meal is a nightmare
but for me, that is not the case. Cooking for me has been and is my heaven. It
brings me peace, joy and love all the same time. It is not just about creating
the perfect meal but the memories of learning to cook from the most joyous and
happy cook I know and that is my mom. She has been a professional cook for a
catering company for more than 45 years and truly enjoyed every minute she
cooked and instilled that joy in me. This poem is for her.
Kitchen
Harmony
You
taught me to cook at an early age
Long
before I wanted to
I
decided for my own reasons
Just
to be close to you..
Time
with you was hard to get
Especially
with 6 children…
But
cooking with you gave us time together
That
might have never been
To watch
you stir was such a joy
Creating
with such delight…
I
wanted to cook dishes just like you
Because
it felt so right…
Cooking
became my safe place of refuge
Sweet
peace and harmony…
Connecting
with you and my soul
No
better place to me…
I
have nothing but pure joy within me when I cook
Because
you taught me such a joy.
Prayer/Blessing:
To the God of many blessings, I thank you for the people
in our lives who instill in us a talent and passion for things that continue to
bring us joy. May we never lose that passion and always remember those who
taught us and embrace them with Joy, Love and Excitement. In your name we pray.
