Oh Lord, You're Beautiful





this may actually be a common practice, but we did something in Church i had never done before.  we were taking communion together... and when it came time to thank Christ for his body, we actually physically broke the bread (which was a wafer).  maybe this is symbolism i have always missed when we tore bread off of a loaf... but it was powerful for me! i have never considered that before as a physical act: to acknowledge that we were both a part of Christ's breaking and, ourselves, very broken.

Oh, Lord, you're beautiful.

    I was confused by everyone cracking the wafer that I almost dropped mine when I decided I should crack it also. And since I have never had a wafer before that was also confusing because I didn't know if it melted in your mouth or you had to chew it. I also thought about the symbolism.

My best friend Charlie and I moved from the deep South to the great North for me to go to graduate school at the University of Minnesota. I earned a Masters Degree in Public Health Nutrition and Dietetics, and we've moved back to Louisiana. I'm a dietitian who wants to help people improve their quality of life through healthy eating! We love adventures, traveling, food and family. We have two dogs: our corgi Punkin and our lab goofy Rufus. We are very blessed to be in love and to walk through life together!
