    Deuteronomy 8:  He therefore let you be afflicted with hunger, and then fed you with manna, a food unknown to you and your fathers, in order to show you that not by bread alone does one live, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of the LORD.
    1 Corinthians 10:  The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ?  The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?
    John 6:  Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.

    Isaiah 8: The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone. You have brought them abundant joy and great rejoicing, as they rejoice before you as at the harvest, as people make merry when dividing spoils.
    1 Corinthians 1: I urge you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same purpose.
    Matthew 4: … Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has arisen.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    I was regretting the past
    And fearing the future.
    Suddenly my Lord was speaking
    “My name is I AM.”

    He paused.  I waited
    He continued,

    “When you live in the past
    With its mistakes and regrets,
    It is hard.  I am not there.
    My name is not I WAS.

    “When you live in the future,
    With its problems and fears,
    It is hard.  I am not there.
    My name is not I WILL BE.

    “When you live in this moment,
    It is not hard. I am here.
    My name is I AM.”

    I Am by Helen Mallicoat
