Hungering and Thirsting….

I was just thinking about being hungry and being thirsty … and how sometimes I am completely oblivious to them.   That is until some wonderful smell comes wafting through the air!  Maybe that’s why I’m not hungry these past few days — the family has been gone and I have not had to cook for anyone … and so there has been an absence of stimulus.

Anyway, I am hopeful that one of the things that Missional Tribe is able to do is to stimulate hunger and thirst for story-telling.  Stories that are as hearty as my chicken soup — the one that simmers for over 24 hours (talk about your aromas wafting about….) and as thirst quenching as my ginger kombucha (which takes even longer to make!).

The thing is that these two items just don’t fit into America’s fast-paced culture.  And as a result, our bodies are denied the amazing riches God has hidden within bone-broth based soup and nutrient-rich kombucha tea.

So, as I open a jar of the soup I made the other day and enjoy a glass of kombucha with it, I am grateful for the nutrition, even if there is nothing actively stimulating my hunger and thirst…

…and I’m starting to “virtually” salivate just a bit when I think of the treasures God will be “cooking up” to feed our hunger for incarnational living and “brewing up” to quench our thirst for companions on the missional journey — here at Missional Tribe.

Yeah … I think I’ll mosey out to the kitchen … and I hope to see you around the Campfire real soon.
