You make veggies taste better than steak!

 This spring I'm trying to read a proverb a day with my six year old daughter. I open up to the proverb that corresponds to the day and choose a verse. Oops, now you'll know that it took me a few days to write this one down. But, it was a precious moment, worth sharing. Snuggled on the couch together inside of a comforter we read this:


A bowl of vegetables with someone you love
      is better than steak with someone you hate. (Prov 15:17 nlt)


Now, we are both carnivores and love hamburgers, sausage, chicken... any kind of meat.  But steak over vegetables? I know, FIVE ALIVE, we need five servings of fruits and veggies every day... but Steak is great! When I looked into her eyes and said "I want you to know something," she was still. 


"If I had to choose between eating steak at a fancy restaurant or having a bowl of vegetable soup with you -- I choose you." 


"If I had to sit on the floor to eat that soup, just being with you would make it great."


We gave big hugs and she told me that I made soup great too.


Of course, if someone we love took us out to a steakhouse that would be really great! Hint! Hint!
