My wife says I need to write about something uplifting. I can’t of anything more uplifting than eating, on a physical plane. When Adam and Eve had to leave the garden of Eden, they had to grow their own food to survive. In the garden, everything was provided for. Food grew on its own. All they had to do was pick it or pluck off a tree to eat. Now, we have to work or grow our own food. And then prepare it like we want. My mother would cook for my dad. He only liked meat and potatoes. As I was growing up, the same old food got very boring and I hate pimiento and cheese sandwiches. So, I began to watch cooking shows on TV. I began to try new recipes. Surprisingly, they came out well. So much so, that my mother, a school teacher, asked me to begin cooking the evening meal. At first, my dad objected to it. But if he didn’t know that I cooked the meal, he liked it. Finally, we told him that I was cooking and he accepted it. I have learned so much about cooking from those shows, that my wife, when we were first married, asked me to cook for us. Don’t say anything, but at her first try at cooking, she burnt water. Over the years, she has learned how to cook. There are certain dishes that she fixes, that the boys love. I am more into baking now. I love making cookies, pies, jams and jellies. Also, I like to make cheesecake. But think if we were still in the garden of Eden, how simple it would be to eat and live. So, God has made a way for us to go back. Not into the garden of Eden, but into heaven itself. And all we have to do is to ask Him and God will respond.
