Mashed potatoes and seasoning

Some come into your life for a season and some come into your life just to season it.

You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:13-16

Have you ever wondered if you were seasoning someone’s life or if you had lost your “seasoning” or saltiness (the positive kind)? In this time of uncertainty, it is easy to stay in the safe zone such as stay at home, not reach out to others, thinking you cannot possibly spread sonshine because you are hiding behind a mask?

When Covid hit, we were confined to our homes and told to only converse with those we knew. Our world became small. We were afraid to even look up and away from our masks when we walked thru stores to get essential day to day items. We argued over everything. Jesus can relate to that. The Pharisees and Saducees were very strict about making sure everyone followed the rules for the Sabbath. They did not want people walking too far; healing or whatever that would keep anyone from resting on the Sabbath.

Jesus eased people back into what God meant for the Sabbath. He seasoned it and brought light to it. It was to worship the One true God but with joy, spirit and love. Not worrying how far you are walking or if you have not obeyed all the Sabbath laws.

God wants you. You can drop the mask. You can even smile through one if you have to wear it. Just spread His sonshine and His love. We are not downtrodden.

You and all are welcome to His Table. There is room. There is light and life and the food is good with plenty of wonderful seasoning.
