Who would have thought we would be working with Himalayan pink salt?
We definitely didn't see it coming.
But God did.
And He has a plan.
He's brought us the opportunity to not only work together as a family with salt...
But to really stop and consider what His Word says about salt.
"Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt,
so that you may know how you ought to answer each person."
Colossians 4:6
What is the purpose of salt?
What does it mean to be the "salt of the earth"?
When we charge ourselves to BE SALT we realize that we have the opportunity here in this world to generate a thirst for Living Water, to nourish others with the Word of God, to maintain our "flavor/saltiness" in order to be effective, and to contribute in a positive way to the lives of those we encounter. We see that salt sitting on a kitchen counter doesn't season food to taste better. It must serve its purpose, be employed. It must do something. In these ways, and many others, we've found our new salt project to not only be a way for our family to work and serve together, but also to learn more about our role as Christians in the world.
We are the salt of the earth.
And that's a privilege.
"You are the salt of the earth."
Matthew 5:13
