I have been making meals for my family for 35 years. The gift of having everything ready at the same time has not been mine, but it has been okay.
Lately anxiety has made a claim on my dinner prep. I need the whole day to get my self together to make the meal.
Today I made fish, Rice, and asparagus. Frustration fills me, because the fish is (over) done and water still covers the rice. Turning off the oven but leaving the fish in it is my best option. The fish is dry and I am berating myself.
The stress grabs my attention. “God, What is going on?”
A care taking moment comes to mind. Dad gently says, “The potatoes were cold, the rest was good but, the potatoes were cold.”
This brought memories of my mom running hot water to heat the serving dishes and using the oven to keep food warm.
The question: How do I become set free from this anxiety? I know it might take time, But God Do Your Work! Love You! Thank You!
“Jesus Fill me with Your Peace and Confidence. Amen.”
God Is Very Good!
