We always have prayer before we eat and I must confess I had a very
abbreviated prayer because I wanted to get into those leftovers. 

Every bite seemed more delicious than the previous bite. How my wife can
take leftovers and mix it all up into a marvelously delicious supper I 
will never know. I do not need to know. All I need to do is enjoy the 
delicacy of her cuisine art. 

For the next week, we enjoyed leftovers every suppertime. The last night
the table was not quite as full as before and my wife informed me that 
this was the last of the leftovers. 

Of course, my heart sank within me realizing that the delicious aspect
of the holiday banqueting was about to come to a close. I never 
realized before how much I loved those leftovers. I don't know if it is 
because I am getting older, or, if I am just recognizing things I've 
never recognized before. 

There is a little bit of magic associated with putting together
leftovers and making them more delicious than the original setting. 

As I finished the last of the leftovers I thought of something Jesus
said after he fed the multitude, “When they were filled, he said unto 
his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be 
lost” (John 6:12). 

Even in my spiritual life when God blesses me, there are leftovers
people around can enjoy. A life so blessed, blesses everybody around.
