The ultimate roast dinner breakfast bap

A spiritual comment and prayer to start the day with
Swarzy Shire
Good morning. I don’t know if you’re anything like me, but I love making breakfast from leftovers – it could be beans on toast with a side of mac & cheese, or the ultimate roast dinner breakfast bap!

There’s something special about leftovers that reminds me of God’s kindness and provision. In the Gospel of John, we see this abundance again and again - first at a wedding in Cana.

When I got married, I remember worrying about what we would toast with. I don’t really like the taste of wine, my family knows I’ll raise a glass of chilled white grape bubbly - alcohol-free, but full of joy! – at special occasions. That’s what I wanted on my wedding day, so I emailed the company to ask about ordering a few bottles. The Friday before the wedding, a huge lorry pulled up at my mum’s house with a whole crate - an unbelievable wedding gift! Come and see God’s kindness: the same Jesus who turned water into wine is still in the business of surprising us with goodness, even through something as simple as my favourite sparkling drink…and we’re still enjoying the leftovers at my supper club!

It’s no coincidence that Jesus’ first miracle took place at a wedding feast - a moment of joy, love, and overflowing abundance pointing us to the ultimate celebration in heaven: the marriage of Christ and His bride, the Church. Jesus delights in showing up and revealing His goodness - both in the ordinary and the miraculous - reminding us to taste and see that the Lord is good. I pray today, that we’d see His blessings not just meet our needs; but overflow. In Jesus name. Amen.
