Love is God’s Gravy

 Ever had a really dry turkey, stuffing , mash potatoes for thanksgiving ? Who hasn’t!  We try so very hard to get the turkey cooked just right and get all the food prepared in such a way that it’s all ready at the same time but it’s near impossible.  We feel the whole meal is ruined and there’s nothing we can do to change it.


What can fix it ?  GRAVY!


Gravy fixes everything. It can take the most dry overcooked food and make it the best meal ever.  Just pour it over all the food and presto! It’s not dry anymore 


Peter writes in 1 Peter 4:8


“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.”


God’s love and forgiveness covers all of our dryness in our souls and others.  His love poured out from his veins on the cross and makes us clean. We then let that love pour over us onto those around us as well and it changes everything.  


So as we meet for family gatherings where we might not see eye to eye on everything or past grievances are still an issue, let’s pour on God’s love over it all!  


Pass the gravy please!
