Gathered around our table, a common dish filled of memory scoops up on our forks. Beans and rice with a sauce of Costa Rica spicing up our palates. Our beloved Salsa Lizano, a taste of our life on the mission field, a favorite of little princes, a taste of their childhood. Pouring from the bottle, the sauce drips dry.
Simultaneously as the final drops of our past pour out, the drips of our future spill from the sky. Rain. The sound of rain drenching the desert intermingles with the memories of missions in the drizzly rain forest.
And the downpour refreshes our desert rose. A secret to my Happy Dance, splashes with every drop. Our minds can cause us to linger in the past. I choose to dance in the rain of today.

Keep splashing sweetie, love you.
My husband is a major hot sauce lover and he only eats certain brands. I think if it was his brand that had run dry, he would be sending back to Costa Rica for more.
What a beautiful symbolism you portrayed in this post. God bless you many times over.
