The Strawberry Patch

We went to the strawberry patch today.  Jeff and Marlayna did the picking because the leaves make me itch, but I love scouting out the berries.  It's like a treasure hunt searching through the leaves for the perfect ripe, red berry.  After we got home, I washed them off and took my first bite.  Oh my!  They were so sweet!  If you can't find God in a fresh-picked sweet strawberry, then you're just not looking.  He gives us this bounty of delicious food that needs no embellishment; nourishment for body and soul.  I found Him today in that first amazing strawberry (and in several thereafter!).
