I AM
The Bread of
Life
Some law firms in DC have figured out that it makes good economic sense to hire staffs of contract attorneys rather than staff up with permanent associates for limited projects where many hours are required to produce documents, generate privilege logs or do other document intensive reviews (Greek to you, I know.) As a result there is a population of attorneys out there who specialize in doing that sort of work efficiently and most major firms use them.
These attorneys have their favorite firms and they have seen a few. They
don't like the firms where they feel "babysat" or where they are overly monitored or where they are not given Internet access. There are a litany of preferences that make these assignments more palatable. One thing you will always hear bragged upon by these attorneys is when the firm provides food- you might hear "that firm is great-they fed us every night from a different restaurant." When you work 12-16 hour days, it's nice having dinner catered.
It struck me- God does this every day. God feeds us every day. Any day of the week you can go to a Catholic Church at meal times- in the morning around breakfast time, at lunch, at dinner time typically and you get a meal. You are fed the Word of the Living God and you are fed himself. The bread of life. The Eucharist.
God sets a table, and he ordered from the finest restaurant in town. You are invited on this project. He will feed you every day. You asked for it didn't you? You said "Give us this day our daily bread." He said ask and you will receive. Just ask.
