An Orange Letter Day

I was eating an orange the other day and the first slice awakened my mouth to the full joy of being a being with a mouth full of buds that taste.  I thought about God’s first thought of an orange, back when all was “formless and void.”  What an unbelievable moment of conceptual creativity to, from nothing, think up the flavor of an orange.  That day was a red, orange letter day in heaven.  But perhaps, because God our Father is so kind, he allowed all the angels who have no need or thought of food, to have their mouths momentarily be filled with tasted buds and then gave each one a slice.  I imagine it took a year for all the praise worship to die down.  That is our Father, Abba God, who not only can conceive of the taste of an orange and then has the power to make them but he then fills our mouths with buds for tasting with the assumption that we will be grateful enough to thank Him.  Thank You, Thank You, Thank YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
