So much to write about...

I feel like for this entry I have SO much to write about.

Easter has passed, the new Christian year has begun (or at least I think that is how the year works!), but also I am writing my blog entry from the city of Bangalore in India. This is a huge trip for me. Many new experiences, many new challenges. And despite the fact that I am in a country where there are very few Christians surrounding me, I am feeling extremely close with God.

All around, lots to write about.

Today I am choosing to write about something that one of the woman that I am staying with has told me. She had just crafted my travel companion and I one of the most delicious meals I have ever tasted, and she looked at us and said:

"When you give a person money, he askes for more. When you give a person nice things, he askes for more. Even if you give a person nice clothes, he askes for more. But once you give a person enough food, they will say 'no more, I am full. I am totally satisfied. Food is the only earthly gift you can give to satisfy a person."

This is a woman who loves to give food to guests. She takes great pride in her cooking, and will give everything until you are satisfied. This woman showed me a glimpse of Jesus. In my reflections of Easter, I realized that this is similar to what Jesus was doing for us. Food is the only way to satisfy our bodies, just as Jesus is the only way to satisfy our spirit. At Easter Jesus has given us the ultimate gift, Himself. Jesus has provided us with ever lasting life, and satisfied our spirit. We as Christians can be full of Gods grace, and satisfied with the love that God has showed us with Jesus.
