Smoothies and God

Nearly every morning without fail during the work week, my wife pulls out the blender grabs fruit and all the ingredients needed to blend smoothies and lovingly prepares them for my son and I.
While making them, we are being told how healthy they are for us and how we really need to drink one to get our fruit nutrition for the day. She tells us how good and fresh these are, how our bodies need all the good stuff contained in them, blah, blah, blah. We almost ignore her, but she is persistent and pushes them for our own good.
Funny, how God speaks to us sometimes. I walked in the kitchen after taking my son to school and looked at the full blender still filled with rapidly warming smoothie and suddenly, the Lord spoke to my spirit saying, "This is how people respond to my grace and mercy towards man."
"I have lovingly taken the time and prepared it myself with tremendous sacrifice for your good to ensure you are made healthy and whole, and many times it's ignored and unappreciated."
I drank a large glass of warm smoothie and said, "Thank You Lord."
