In Due Season

The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season. Psalm 145:15

Not many people stop to think about the origin of their food. But scripture teaches us over and over again that our daily provisions are provided by God alone. God created a world that by nature provides food - the rain falls, plants grow and bear fruit, animals feed, fertilize, and we labor.

Lately, we have begun to ponder this creative design, and how much our modern culture has deviated from it. And after much prayer and searching, God has led us to take action in our family's eating choices. So here begins our journey to follow God through eating more sustainably day by day - choosing locally grown and organic foods whenever possible.

So why do we think this is so important? We thought that we'd begin with some of the basic ideas that led us down this path.

• We care about people. Modern agriculture and farming in the U.S. and other modern countries creates a system that negatively impacts world hunger and food shortages
• We care about the earth. The way we grow and raise our food today harms the environment, depletes natural resources, and does not work within God's created system of sustainability
• We care about how we live. Many of our food sources are produced using methods of questionable integrity - forcing human design on plant and animal life without concern for God's design
