Fig Friday - Lent 9

From the Cotswold Cheese Company (sold out)

 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. And when he had eaten, his spirit revived, for he had not eaten bread or drunk water for three days and three nights.

1 Samuel 30:12

This story is quite wonderful.  David (soon to be King of the Jews) and his men stumbled across a dying figure in the wilderness.  A quick fish in their knapsack.  Slightly anxious glances between them.  I generous and selfless act.  Their action saved this man's life.  

Now that's what I call communion.

PRAYER: May I be ready to give my last 'fig ball' to a dying person.
