Food

35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

John 6:35

I’m finding that food is the most difficult thing to let go of. I have always loved food and never been one to go on special diets. Any food is good in moderation has been my motto. Many times I have cried while watching my family eat without me. And since I get my tube feeding at night I am often hungry by dinnertime. So that makes it even harder.

My family is trying hard to make it easier. They have made warm milky tea to push down my tube. It helps make me feel a part of things. But I really really miss eating. Remembering good times with friends that have centered around food., I feel sad.

There are lots of verses in the Bible that speak about food. But these speak of never being hungry. I look forward to that day.

  2. I’m sorry, Karen. That has to be so hard. I remember feeling guilty eating in front of Bill. Praying for you always as I know the journey you walk.

  3. Dearest Karen, I agree with Aubrey’s comment. You come to mind so many times throughout the day as I am doing activities that you can no longer participate in. I cannot express how much your real, honest, and human, yet faith-filled and challenging blog is a blessing to all of us that read it. Keep your eyes on the Lord! We pray for you and your family multiple times daily. ❤️

  4. Dear Karen, How great are your losses. What a deep trial this is. I’m praying that the Lord will continue to feed and nourish you richly by His word and Spirit. How glorious will be the day when we can enjoy the feast He is preparing in Heaven. Love you, dear friend and sister in the Lord. ((Big hugs))

    Karen, it was so wonderful to be able to visit with you last weekend. What a blessing and encouragement you are! Thank you for telling me about your blog. I have just caught up on all your posts. Your faith in the midst of suffering is so inspiring and such an example for me. You have been continually on my heart since our visit. I’m so sorry that you are going through this incredible trial (indeed, the word “trial” does not seem strong enough). I’m so grateful that your hope is not in the ability of your body or in the things of this earth. I thank God that He is holding and carrying you and pray that He will minister mightily to you through every pain and every loss. I’m so sorry my friend. I love you much. ~Wendy
