Ewan Eating Noodles from Sivin Kit on Vimeo.
For me, it’s simple moments like this that’s so precious. It’s not “expensive” but it priceless. It’s “un-orchestrated” and yet deeply profound. It’s a load of fun too.
I find myself energized by times like this. It connects to the best of our humanity, and also points me to the wonders of being God’s creation with his image.
The reality of brokenness, distortion and sin is not far away. Enjoying this gift while being with Ewan doesn’t downplay or ignore that in anyway. But when it’s so easy to get sucked into the darkness of all that, the glimpses of childlike innocence, wonder and simplicity is such a joy to behold and a much needed antidote to refocus.
Capturing this moment of Ewan’s joy of eating noodles brings so much joy for me. 
This joy leads me to offer thanks to “Our Father” who’s not just busy keeping the universe in equilibrium, but also engaged around the meals we have on a daily basis.
Relationships, meals and worship. That’s all there is to this life, isn’t it?
G – I’d add one more component actually, and that’s the one either mostly misunderstood or neglected.
I’m referring to discovering our “mission” and unique contribution to the big story and drama God is up to. So, in the midst of connecting our little story to that big one of reconciling the world to himself, I cultivate friendship and family … I eat and drink with fellow sinners, … I engage in personal and corporate worship within the Sabbath/Work frame … I also grow in self-understanding and a sense of purpose that all that I do, can do and will do is an overflow of not only my unique make up as an individual but more importantly as a response to the still small voice of “come, follow me . . .” and “Go … I send you!”
