Spontaneous Praise and the Macadamia Nut
On the way to Costa Rica last week I pulled out the little bag of macadamia nuts I had brought for the trip.
As I carefully savored each one I started to realize once again how spectacularly good macadamia nuts really are.
And I started to say, "Mmmmm. Macadamia nuts are the best nuts of all. So salty. And the fat content is high, and they are smooth and creamy."
I suddenly realized I was actually praying, telling Jesus about how great macadamia nuts are. So I said, thanks for macadamia nuts. I think the fact that they exist show that you are a good God and care about us.
Which seemed a little goofy at the time, but I'm guessing I should be goofy in that way more often.

I bet God was smiling when he heard your prayer. That and thinking "Matt, if you'd only try them dipped in my other delicious creation, chocolate."
ReplyDeleteI feel that same way (lead to spontaneously praise Jesus) whenever I hear banjo music. Though it's rarely on airplanes, so maybe it's not the same thing.
