Feast


I love eating at Ryan's parents' house.

No matter what . . . we will be served a feast.

There is always an Abundance of food . . . never lacking . . . never sparse . . . never a need to scrape the bottom of the pot.

One 4th of July, the pasta salad was so plentiful that twelve people didn't even make a dent in the extra-large green tupperware bowl full.

Abundance.

Feast.


Jesus says . . .

I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.  - John 10:10b, NRSV

I came so that everyone would have life, and have it in its fullest.  - John 10:10b, Contemporary English Version

I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.  - John 10:10b, The Message


Full . . . 

        Abundant . . . 

                Spilling life . . . 


  . . . more than we've ever dreamed of.


Now that sounds pretty awesome.
