Today was movie day (courtesy of Humana Gold plus)! Enjoyed both the flick and the free snacks!! The only way it could have been better, would have been to have these "reinvented oreo's" on the menu!!! However, the motto- "If its free; its for me" does apply. And then I thought of Exodus chapter 16 and manna from heaven. How could you top that? well, how about thinking about John chapter 6...
John 6:26-35 NASB
(26) Jesus answered them and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.
(27) "Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal."
(28) Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?"
(29) Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."
(30) So they said to Him, "What then do You do for a sign, so that we may see, and believe You? What work do You perform?
(31) "Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, 'HE GAVE THEM BREAD OUT OF HEAVEN TO EAT.'"
(32) Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven.
(33) "For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."
(34) Then they said to Him, "Lord, always give us this bread."
(35) Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.
(26) Jesus answered them and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.
(27) "Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal."
(28) Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?"
(29) Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."
(30) So they said to Him, "What then do You do for a sign, so that we may see, and believe You? What work do You perform?
(31) "Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, 'HE GAVE THEM BREAD OUT OF HEAVEN TO EAT.'"
(32) Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven.
(33) "For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."
(34) Then they said to Him, "Lord, always give us this bread."
(35) Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.
Ephesians 2:8 NASB
(8) For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

Snacks are great, but you can't live on them. However, when God gives you a gift, now that really is a gift!!! Better than any oreo I could ever imagine (any place, any time). And if that gift just happens to be of a spiritual nature- well how can you top something that lasts forever???
