The Sunny Side Diner in Bennington, VT. is about halfway between home and bow, NH, the first stop on our journey to Maine.
We arrive there just about noon, while breakfast is still being swerved allowing us to have their generous sized blueberry pancakes and real maple syrup.
It's also possible to order a 3-egg omelet served with toast and freshly made strawberry-rhubarb jam.
It's the relaxed, friendly spirit of the diner that makes it a refreshing stop on our journey.
We mortals, having driven three hours, enjoy God's gifts of wheat real maple syrup freshly made strawberry-rhubarb jam available in abundance.
Psalm 78 recalls the Israelite’s journey out of Egyptian slavery towards the promised land.
The Psalm reminds the people of their complaining to Moses about the lack of water and God’s response of abundant water flowing from a rock.
The story of the manna, God’s heavenly food, is another reminder that the wandering Israelites thought Moses led them in the wilderness to starve.
Psalm 78 reminds the people that God commanded the skies, opened the doors of heaven and rained down manna to eat, and gave them the grain of heaven.
Mortals ate of the bread of angels; he sent them food in abundance.
Psalm 78 presents the past as a lesson for the present generation stressing God’s grace and faithfulness.
As I look at the events of the present and reflect on events of the past, Psalm 78 is a reminder that God’s grace and faithfulness is present.
The Bible says the same story as we live our life’s journey with its anxieties and tensions.
God is faithfully, abundantly, providing healing, strengthening grace for the journey.
