“He is wooing you from the jaws of distress
to a spacious place free from restriction,
to the comfort of your table laden with choice food."
Job 36, 16
Dear family in the Lord!
What a beautiful verse! Guess who is talking here? It is Job's friend Elihu, missing the point, but still stating a truth about God. Your health got you in distress? Well, come to the table of the Lord laden with choice food!
Let's be inspired today to learn more about a spacious place free from restriction...... your fridge!
Thinking about someones fridge, who is near and very dear to me, I had a revelation. In an attempt to translate the peace and order I feel in my heart and mind into reality I cleaned out my mother-in-law's refrigerator. And, oh what I found! I came across bagged and thoroughly molded limes, a whole bunch of sauces and dressing way past their best days (the award went to Steak Sauce dated 04/2001), besides that most of these were made from terrible ingredients, boxed up left overs of once fancied meals,..... let me wrap it up by pointing out; There were thoughts about getting a second fridge, "because we could not fit everything inside."
When I was done with my spring cleaning we could fit a whole ham and a whole turkey into the same fridge.
Now, it's not my job to guilt anyone into conviction. But you can put one and one together and realize effortlessly that you are wasting money, space and health by this kind of a lifestyle. That is what leads me to share The Ten Condiments with you. The "Thou shalt not" is not really my place- let me share with you what thou shalt!
With all that said, dear family in the Lord, I release you back into your day and hope you were inspired today to honor and value food as we know it comes from the Lord. Keeping a clean house in your fridge will help you experience the spacious places without restrictions, helping you with not forgetting about left overs, veggies or sauces, enabling you to purchase the quality food your body deserves.
Be blessed abundantly!

THE TEN CONDIMENTS
1. Only buy what you are going to eat. Yes, this involves a little planning ahead.
2. Only prepare what you are going to eat.
3. Use the convenience of a fridge as a tool of for the cool by preparing healthy foods over the weekend to serve you as a quicker meal during the week. Like grilled chicken breast, steak or a stir fry. No need for harsh preservatives out of Frankenstein's chem lab if you make it yourself and eat it in time!
4. If you like dressing for your salad or sauces for your meat always go for quality. Buy and use one condiment at a time, with the least ingredients that exclude High Fructose Corn Syrup, Mono Sodium Glutamate, Artificial Colors or Artificial Flavors. Be aware that "Fat free" option defy the purpose of adding fat to your consumption of Vitamins. Did you ever try Organic Flax Seed/ Cold Pressed Olive Oil as dressing?
5. Buy one or two jams you really like. Or not. Jams or jelly usually drop a sugar bomb into your system, setting you up for a growth of more sweet teeth in your mouth. Ever considered making your own jam and adding only hints of Sucanat instead of cups of refined sugar?
6. Buy only organic and unsalted butter. You eat it daily, it is worth the extra $2.
7. Cheese should have 5 ingredients or less. Same with String Cheese or Shredded Cheese. Swiss Cheese or Mozzarella tend to be a better choice than Cheddar or mixes that are made with artificial colors.
8. Always have Kale, Carrots, Onions, Peppers and Pre-shred Cole Slaw (without sauce!) in your veggie drawer. They make for a super quick super nutritious supper. That is- if you are going to eat these power foods!
9. A condiment you might find on top of your fridge: Salt. Throw out all table salt, especially the iodine fortified ones. They come with synthetic minerals that pose a real thread to thyroids and with that hormone household Exchange those with Salt that comes with real Minerals like Pink Himalayan Salt or Celtic Sea Salt. Found at Trader Joe's or Wayzata.
10. Always have 100% lemon juice in your fridge. It works as a quick sauce for grilling chicken with or you can add it to water or salads.
With all that said, dear family in the Lord, I release you back into your day and hope you were inspired today to honor and value food as we know it comes from the Lord. Keeping a clean house in your fridge will help you experience the spacious places without restrictions, helping you with not forgetting about left overs, veggies or sauces, enabling you to purchase the quality food your body deserves.
Be blessed abundantly!
