OH, FOR THE FAITH OF A COOK
Some time ago, I was meditating upon my life as it has unfolded over the years. As I did, I began to realize the importance of cooks in my life because my life would have been a lot different without them.
Then I began to collect the names and faces of the most important cooks that had helped this old boy stay alive so long. Of course, I started with the main cook in my young life, my mother.
We had a very unconventional lifestyle as a traveling Pentecostal preacher family. Because of that, mother learned how to produce meals for her family on all sorts of cookstoves and campfires. I still remember the warm kitchen in Yakima because of the wood cookstove where there was always a coffee pot for dad and a pot of soup for the rest of us.
It seems I spent a fair amount of my young life going somewhere in an automobile. Those days we carried our food in a small cooler and camped out at night along the road somewhere. And when it was lunchtime, almost magically, a sandwich would be passed over from the front seat where mom was putting lunch together as we traveled along.
I never thought much about where the food came from, but just as long as mother was around, I knew we would have something to eat.
However, the most essential cook in my life has been my wife, Arlis, who has kept me alive for 54 years. She never met a soup she couldn't change. Of course, I should get some credit for her skills because I have been the test case for most of her cooking in the early days. But I never complained because I was in love. And as the scripture says, love covers a multitude of burnt food.
Currently, she's on a quest to discover the best banana bread ever. And her grandkids are cheering her on as she does. I watched her baking yesterday, and she showed me the record of all the banana bread she baked this year. She had noted all the ingredients and the changes she made to the flavor of each one.
As I listened to her explain her next strategy, I was hit with this thought; oh, that we might have the faith of a cook.
If you and I applied the scriptures with the same faith that a cook has when they put a cup of sugar or flour into the mix, knowing it will change something for the better. The great cooks in our life have total confidence in their ingredients, and when they apply them, the results will be the same every time.
Now that's the kind of faith I can follow.
