Because of my husband’s struggle with high blood pressure, I use no to very little salt. I often forget that when I cook for others, they expect better seasoned, tasty food. In defense, I do use a lot of different spices, but those can become flat if left on the shelf too long. They lose their flavor, and need to be thrown out and replaced.
I admit that bland food does not enrich people’s palates. Salt and fresh spices greatly enhance the taste!
This is much the same in life. Sometimes, I just have to STOP to remember that I need to add salt and spice to my life as well as others. With God's, He can restore my usefulness and I can become a tasty palate for others.
As it says in Matthew 5:13, “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses it saltiness, how can it be made salty again: It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.”
