I was reading an article in December’s issue of Real Simple magazine about what to bring if you’re asked to make a potluck dish. It was suggested, “If you’re asked to bring a main course, surprise them with Sausage, Cauliflower and Kale Potpie.” I don’t know if you find that as funny as I did, but I laughed out loud when I read that! I could just envision me taking that to a holiday potluck and the response it would get when people, tricked by the flaky crust, would expect traditional comfort food and be surprised to find kale and cauliflower! I am guessing if I took that to a potluck, it would be the last time I was asked to bring a main course. I would probably be relegated to bringing bread or salad if I am asked again at all!
Whether we like it or not, in life we are judged by what we bring to the table – good food, a positive attitude, charming conversation skills. I know people are looking at us as we go through this struggle with ALS and checking out what we bring to the table. I hope they see a positive attitude and a deep faith in God. I am sure at times they see fear and sadness but most of the time I think they will see joy.
No matter what, I know God loves us and will keep inviting us to his banquet regardless of what we bring to the table. That's a good thing since I probably didn't bring my best today.
