美味的早餐 / Thanks for Our Daily Bread

#2025-1206

Thanks be to the Lord! This morning we enjoyed a rich and delicious breakfast: nutritious sweet potatoes, broccoli, egg pancakes, bananas, and more.

For those who are comfortable with dairy, a glass of cold—or warm—milk would also be a fine choice. My wife and I, however, opted for freshly brewed, steaming hot coffee. It suits our age, and it also fits what we like to call our “romantic imagination.”

Speaking of imagination, we even had some freshly cooked edamame that had been chilled. After finishing the beans, I arranged the empty pods on my plate and was surprised to see that they formed a Chinese character filled with meaning: 主—the Lord. (Thanks be to the Lord; praise be to the Lord.)

感謝主！我們今天享有豐盛、美味的早餐：包括營養可口的甘藷、青花椰、蛋餅、香蕉...... 

如果肚子習慣奶製品的話，還可以來一杯冰涼的（或熱）牛奶。我和老婆則選喝現煮的，熱騰騰的咖啡，既符合我們的年齡，也配合我們所謂的「浪漫的想像」。

說到「想像」，今天早餐，我們還吃了冰過的新鮮毛豆。我吃完毛豆仁，把毛豆莢擺放在盤子裡，竟然組成一個極富意義的中文字：主。（感謝主！讚美主！）
