“Let the children be fed first.
For it is not right to take the food of the children
and throw it to the dogs.”
She replied and said to him,
“Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children’s scraps.”
To be honest .. I still can’t understand this entire language and its confusing to me ! I love dogs and children… both groups love so unconditionally and can make one feel as the most important person at that given moment with all the attention they give one!
I believe both should be nurtured , fed, bathed and looked after especially when we are the ones that chose to have them in our lives — it is not their choice!
Very similar to how the Lord wants us to love him unconditionally and ensures we are taken care of in good and bad times! although we may feel otherwise!
Often when we do not keep in touch with our faith ( like me at the moment) it feels like Im the dog waiting for scraps from the Lord and unable to reach in that row of children ahead of me .. I know I haven’t loved God almighty unconditionally and placed my work , my rest and earthly desires on a higher pedestal than my relationship with Christ.
Maybe we all have not ! Faltered midway with our faith and fumbled in the darkness of daily routines and unable to see the light to clear my path…
I want to focus my pre Lent time to be a better human and Christian and stop the innate hatred I have for some humans who wronged me or hurt me despite me not doing anything!
Lets Hope and pray I can move among the children at the table of the Lord !
AMEN
