"Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven."
There is amazing food to enjoy here on Earth.
However, eating on this planet is rather disturbing when you really think about it.
When I swim I get into what I call "Flow." It's the absolute best when all I am aware of is the water, and the mechanics of the stroke, kick, and breathing, and nothing else in those moments.
But most of the time my mind is in creative "flow" about other things as I swim.
Sometimes it's gratitude for my ability and access to do this beneficial activity to maintain healthy mind, body, and spirit.
Today the thought flow was about eating on Earth. My brain began to process the fact that on this side of the planet we suffer from eating disorders such as obesity from gluttony or starvation from perfectionism or bulimia (bingeing and purging) from gluttony and guilt, a vicious cycle that manifests itself in many more ways that eating food. All of these disorders while humans on the other side of the planet are literally skin and bones starving to death because of a lack of food and clean drinking water accessible to them.
How can one nation have such excess and intentionally starve themselves to achieve "super model beauty standards" while other countries are dying due to a lack of available resources?
This was the thought flow swimming in my head as my body was swimming through the pool.
Then I remembered the Lord's Prayer
Luke 11: 2-4
Matthew 6:9-13
And I look forward to the day that God's Kingdom will be on Earth like it is in Heaven with no more starvation, suffering, obsessive comparison, and constant dissatisfaction and lack of appreciation, grumbling over the daily manna God has provided.
