What is the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten? Check out this week’s episode to learn about John the Baptist who ate some weird stuff! And find out what food Malachi won’t eat.
Would you eat locusts and honey?
Daily Prayer
Jesus, you are peace even when there is hatred. Help us to forgive like you when we are hurt or wounded. Bring peace into our hearts we pray. Amen.
Eat Honey and Locusts – If you dare!
Locusts and Honey on Log
celery sticks
peanut butter
honey
raisins
– Spread some peanut butter on a celery stick, drizzle with honey, and add raisins. That’s the classic version. Today I did a little variation and used dark chocolate peanut butter and dried blueberries. I think that cinnamon peanut butter with dried cranberries would be another great combo, maybe with a little maple syrup? There are lots of great ways to mix up this classic snack! If your kids need a little convincing to eat celery, like mine, you could also put this on top of a graham cracker.
And since today is about St. John the Baptist’s birthday, its a great day to read the story of his birth, which can be found in Luke 1:57-66, 80
When the time arrived for Elizabeth to have her child, she gave birth to a son. Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her.
When they came on the eighth day to circumcise the child, they were going to call him Zechariah after his father, but his mother said in reply, “No. He will be called John.” But they answered her, “There is no one among your relatives who has this name.” So they made signs, asking his father what he wished him to be called. He asked for a tablet and wrote, “John is his name,” and all were amazed.
Immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue freed, and he spoke blessing God. Then fear came upon all their neighbors, and all these matters were discussed throughout the hill country of Judea. All who heard these things took them to heart, saying, “What, then, will this child be?”
For surely the hand of the Lord was with him. The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the desert until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
