Salsa and tasting life
Does salsa taste better if you have all your teeth? I had to have some of my teeth pulled when we were poor and young, just starting off in life. We could not afford to have my teeth fixed, we just had them pulled. But now that we are old(er) and.., I'm still having my teeth pulled.
But does life, I mean salsa, taste better with all your chewing tools? Do we miss out of tasting life because we have holes in our mouth?
Years ago I was at home eating a granola bar and when I bit in, one of my teeth broke off. Later on a fishing trip in South Dakota we were "going light" on lunch and just having granola bars. Guess what. I bit the bar and another tooth broke off. Health food attacks me for sucking up to ice cream all those years.
I just got back from working in Mississippi. Some of the people there have holes, places missing. I think there is a lot of life, a lot of God, they are missing as they try to chew up the meal they have been served. I went to help them out, but you know, I have some teeth missing in my own mouth. Most dental work is not transferable with some one else. I don't know this for sure but when I look at my neighbors dentures, I don't think they will fix into my mouth. It seems like we can encourage one another but the chewing is left up to the individual.
I know we all miss out on things because of the losses we have suffered. But when we get to heaven I think most of us will realize it was not the salsa we wanted anyway - it was the chip!
Happy chewing and watch out for those granola bars.
