I remember when our children were babies. \u00a0(It has been a long time.) Joyce was always the perfect mother and insisted that they be fed only what the pediatrician said babies should have: milk, baby cereal, and canned baby food.\u00a0 Yuk!!<\/p>\n<p>I was usually the one to push the envelope of what was acceptable.\u00a0 I, in my infinite wisdom, just naturally knew that God intended for babies to have mashed potatoes and gravy.\u00a0 Many times I was chastised for feeding these wonderful foods to the babies, but it was a secret between the babies and me &#8230; and they loved it!\u00a0 From that to more and more solid food until they became teens and ate us out of house and home.<\/p>\n<p>Many people attend church weekly (some very seldom), and seem to feel that they are getting all of the spiritual nourishment they need. LISTEN! There is no way that I, or any other minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, \u00a0can give you enough in one or two sermons to get you through the week.\u00a0 I have seen the saying many times:<em> A week without church attendance makes one weak.<\/em>\u00a0 We need that time in worship and hearing the Word proclaimed, but it will never be enough to bring us to spiritual maturity.\u00a0 We need a daily diet of spiritual food.<\/div>\n<p>Blessings dear hearts.
