There's something oceanic about crab legs. I suppose it's a direct result of the crab having lived it's entire life in the ocean. (heheh) Tonight I had crab legs. I steamed 'em, cracked 'em, picked out the meat, dipped them in melted butter....mmmmm, good! I had originally hoped for someone to share them with, but, in lieu of human companionship, Christ pulled up a chair and dined with me. We had a beautiful date, we feasted, we talked, I gazed into His eyes. I opened all the windows in this apartment, and between the saltiness of the crab and the gentleness of the breeze, the Lord took my memories back to the ocean that I love to visit. His breeze is so refreshing to me. I wish we didn't have to settle for man made air-conditioning. I will always prefer the wind.....on the road or in my home. It reminds me of His freshness....of the way He enters my stuffiness and produces a beautiful aroma. I dreampt of the ocean and remembered the ways my God has met me standing on the shore. It was a satisfying evening of enjoying the company of my King, basking in His rest, and finding contentment in Christ.
I feel bad for people who are allergic to shellfish :(
"...maybe it's the way Your love swells beneath my skin, maybe it's the way my senses are full again....just as I am, You rush in without a warning, didn't think You would really want to come to this place, make it feel like a Sunday morning....." Sandra McCracken
