He is Knocking at Your Door

Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. Revelation 3:20



Imagine how wonderful it would be to have Jesus Himself knock at your door and you invite Him in to join you and your family or friends for supper—or just the two of you alone. What a wonderful experience. Think about how it was for His two followers who met Him along the road to Emmaus just after His resurrection. How they had such a great discussion as they walked…and then He broke bread—had supper with them. When I was growing up there was a picture hanging in my Grandparents house of Jesus knocking at a door—but there was no door knob on the door. It is a classic picture. I’m sure you’ve seen it before. It was explained to me at an early age that that was Jesus knocking at the door to my heart—and the door could only be opened from the inside. Each person had to answer Jesus knock and invite Him into their home…their heart. Have you heard Jesus knocking at the door of your heart? How have you responded to Him? What will you serve at a meal with Him?



Prayer ~ Jesus, welcome to my heart and my home. Please come in and share a meal with me. The spiritual food that You have inspired in Your word is the precious food of my meal with You.



Friday’s Feast at the King’s Table

Fish Tacos are a favorite of mine and I have tried them at probably eight different Mexican food restaurants. Here’s a recipe that I enjoy. I hope you will love it, too.



Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa  - serves 4

Mango Salsa

1 cup chopped fresh mango – about one large mango or a couple of smaller ones

3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (substitute parsley if preferred)

¼ large red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped – use more or less to taste

1 fresh lime, squeezed

Combine all ingredients and chill about an hour before serving.




Fish Tacos

1 pound fresh caught halibut or other firm wild white fish

1 tsp olive oil

8 fresh corn tortillas

1 cup cabbage shredded, can be red or green cabbage, or a mixture

1 can white or black beans, rinsed

1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

1 fresh lime, cut in wedges



Drizzle olive oil on fish and grill on a hot grill for about 8 minutes per side, until done. Meanwhile, warm corn tortillas for 5-10 minutes in a 350 degree oven or on a skillet until the tortillas are pliable. Layer fish, beans, salsa, and cabbage in warm tortillas. Top with sour cream or yogurt and a squeeze of lime juice. Garnish with more cilantro.



Happy Anniversary, Lisa & Kim.  Love &Blessings!
