Our friends from our community group raise chickens for eggs! Imagine my delight when I opened the door for them last night and there Tia stood with TWO cartons full of beautiful eggs!! From her own backyard. What a dream! I never thought I'd be so excited to see eggs. But just look at that beautiful rounded firm yoke. Now that's an egg.
I love how they're all different sizes and color variations. They just seems so real. I know it sounds funny, but getting these eggs is an answer to prayer. I feel so blessed that God hears me and actually cares about something so small as the eggs we eat.
The thing is, Mom always bought cage-free eggs as a habit, so to me it was the norm. But when Paul and I got married, he was not on board. In fact he thought it was a big scam. I have read some articles that there may not be as much of a difference between caged and marketed "cage-free" and so I could understand his skepticism. But I was still convinced that we should do something to seek out healthier eggs, and this sometimes caused conflict between us. Honestly, it had been an issue we discussed just the day before. But we are learning and growing so much lately and I know God's been working in both of our hearts as we desire a marriage that honors one another and Him. Crazy the lessons you can learn when you argue about eggs. Kind of reminds me of the banana fight.
Anyways, needless to say we are thrilled with our egg source and our generous friends. It's funny when I stop and think about eggs being important to me. But they are! I feel so grown up!
Coming soon in our house: cookies! scrambled eggs! fried rice! banana bread! and whatever other scrumptious egg recipes I can find! yay!
