I hope you're not hungry. This little dish is as close to heaven on earth that you will get. Known as the famous "Springfield Cashew Chicken," it doesn't really look like much but when it hits your lips, it is divine!
When we first moved to Springfield, everyone that had been there in the past told us to be sure and eat Cashew Chicken when we got there. Halfway there, we realized that no one had told us where to get it. It didn't take us long though to realize that there was a Cashew Chicken place on practically every block of the city. After many tries, we found the place we liked the best and that is where we went when we were craving some. That was in 1986.
In 2003, we returned to Springfield for the very first time since leaving there in 1991. Built into our plans was to eat Cashew Chicken until we were clucking and growing feathers. We were so looking forward to it. And it didn't disappoint.
It's good to have something to look forward to in life. I know that when life gets hard, I remember that this world is not my home. I'm just traveling through. On those days, I picture what it will be like to be in a place where there is no sickness, no pain, no lack, and where I will be in the presence of Jesus, forever!
I've had so many good times here on earth, but I've had some experiences that were as close to Hell as I ever hope to be. Through it all, what I possess is a blessed hope that Jesus Christ will return and set up my real home here. I can't wait. I know I will not be disapointed.
Today, I am thankful for the Blessed Hope I have in Jesus Christ.
