Another Way of a Kind of Fasting.

We often take food for granted.

What if we only ate for a day the food that was offered to us.

This can be done as often as once a week...and leads to a kind of fasting that can be done even when visiting family and friends...while being completely silent about it... We might find ourselves more greatful for hospitality. We might feel hunger and identify with the hungry. We would feel the lingering hope of the hungry poor... wondering if they might recieve the gift of broken bread and fish from our hands and the hand of Jesus...
