Good things
Today in church the topic was the Magnificat, also known as the Canticle of Mary. I was thinking about one part, which we used to sing in children's choir:
He hath filled the hungry with good things
and the rich he hath sent empty away.
Today I realized that my mental image of the "good things" is the food page from The Little Engine that Could.
"Some of the cars were filled with all sorts of good things for boys and girls to eat — big golden oranges, red-cheeked apples, bottles of creamy milk for their breakfasts, fresh spinach for their dinners, peppermint drops, and lollypops for after-meal treats."
To me, the combination of words and images invoke all that is wholesome and tasty. Fill me up!
