Manna? Virginia Salter manna in every nook and cranny cupboard, pantry, freezer, fridge manna of many flavors textures, colors, yet it all is as manna to the Israelites, millenia ago why ......with stomach’s ......thunderous rumble ......in its gnaw ......from inside out why ......does each prospect ......seem to offer ......tastelessness ......pallor it surely must be me whose tongue’s gone numb no! it’s not that, it’s narcissism ......to want what can’t be had ......to crave the forbidden oh, you apple seeker ......turn love the blessings you’re endowed © July 23, 2001 |

This is great! I guess it's just human nature to always want something out of reach. When I was small, I always believed "manna" must taste like angel food cake. Betty Lou Hebert |

This brought to mind many things. I was talking with some Christian brothers the other night about how Manna could not be hoarded for more than a day or it would spoil... and what that means for us today. Manna is God's sustenance for us through his word and by his Spirit. Yet we must learn to put it to use it on a daily basis. The tendency of Churches many times is to hoard what they've been given among themselves. That's why such glorious teaching can sometimes "spoil" if we don't allow ourselves to be doers of the word, and share what we have with sinners in need. Enjoyed this very much. Stephen. |

Very well said.. I heard a sermon lately about manna.. and I too was thinking about a poem.. that hasn't developed yet. Manna the living word of God..we need to devour daily..and be satified with the substance that it provides for us to live a life for God. He provides all we need our us to fullfill His purpose..yet we humans always seem to want the onions! |
