How great it is
To share the first pot of chili this fall with a friend.
Oyster crackers,
Thin spaghetti,
Abundant citrus green tea,
And a bubbling pot
of black-bean chili
Filled us up
As we ate from multicolored bowls
And drank from mason jars
And told stories that made us think and laugh and be grateful.
As the Psalmist said: “Taste and see that the LORD is good.
Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!”
The Lord delights in the analogy as well as the reality of the table, the meal—
and once again he was present at my table
in laughter, friendship, and hot chili
on this cool
evening.
