I think He would eat chicken....maybe? Along with His felafel.
I made it with Love.
Instead of lamenting I am 20 weeks pregnant with my fifth, tired, and why doesn't anyone ever bring me a meal out of the blue when I need it? Or why isn't there some magic fairy meal-maker?
I cut up the onion, celery, carrots, carefully.
Thinking how He would enjoy eating it.
Probably sopping it up with yummy, crusty bread. And maybe some wine?
I would use my best china, of course.
It gave me immense pleasure.
So maybe when I am making dinner each night for my family... (and breakfast. and lunch. and snacks. Oh mamas, it never ends, right?)
...I'll think of serving Him.
And how He would smile. And enjoy it. ...and I'd probably cry.
'Cause He would understand my heart.
And what I put into it.
And why.
And He's already given me everything I will ever need, so He wouldn't need to bring me a meal.
'Cause I feast daily at His table.
And because of that, I am honored to serve Him.
For the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve; and to give His life as a ransom for many. ~Matthew 20:28

"Because He would understand my heart." That's the line that got me. It means so much to be understood and to think He understands us without us even having to explain ourselves or figure ourselves out... Yes, I'll cook and clean for Him too!

Matthew 25:31-46
Especially verse 40:
"The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'"
More hugs ;)
