NO COVERED DISHES

                                                NO COVERED DISHES

                                       The kids have run off to play.
                                       Chairs have been pushed at odd angels.
                                       The silverware lies haphazardly on
                                       our plates and my wife and I look 

                                       at one another contentedly.

                                       With a satisfying grin on our faces
                                       we remark, "That sure was a delicious supper."
                                       As we thought about our meal, we realized 
                                       that the butter could not say to the homemade
                                       bread, "I have no need of you."

                                       And our side dish of apple sauce could not

                                       boast of its taste above that of the side dish
                                       of coleslaw.

                                       And while the ice-cream was the favorite of
                                       the younger set, it did not vaunt itself above
                                       the pot-roast.

                                       Each dish contributed equally, distinctively, and 
                                       uniquely to the overall superbness of the meal.

                                       One other thought did strike us, though...
                                       On God's table, there are no covered dishes.
