Theme: “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)
Application: Think Veggies!
This year I was all excited to be the veggies queen. I planted a huge garden and spent tons of time working with my family in it. When this theme was announced, I loved it and was inspired. My kids were not all so thrilled. I have one son who has announced that if it is green he will not eat it. So, I decided we’d try some new vegetables as long as the garden held out. (And not all veggies are green.) We discovered that if you grill things on the BBQ, they seem more exotic and tastier. Green, red and orange pepper, eggplant, and zucchini, even corn on the cob. We had a “one bite” rule. .. they had to try just one bite. Amazingly we discovered that we could even have a vegetarian meal and survive. Sometimes I even cut veggies and snuck them into sauces. Our home grown HEALTHY vegetables are becoming a bigger part of our family diet. And we are taking care of our bodies – as the temples they are.
