| Kairos Greek Tilapia |
What’s up guys,
It has been an incredible week around Kairos! I know that in
my newsletters I always talk about things going on around the Kafe, but the
Katering side of Kairos is also one of my favorite things to do! Bringing
delicious goodness to you, wherever you are! Denise has actually been traveling
regularly all the way to Tuscaloosa because we have a guy that needs food for
his meetings that is a huge Kairos Fan! I love those kinds of folks! And there
is no better way to get people to listen to your presentations than with good
food. Building Relationships Around Food... one group at a time! Call Denise at
205-410-3220 or e-mail Denise@KairosKatering.com the next time you need some delicious goodness in
your home or office... or wherever you may be!
I had the privilege this week of overhearing a guests
comment as he was checking out at the register. He said that he was just
driving by, didn’t know a thing about Kairos, but needed a quick lunch so he
stopped in. He was very pleased. He began to passionately describe his lunch as
“... the best lunch I’ve ever had! The Chicken was so tender! The sauce was
perfect! The light breading on the Fried Broccoli was incredible, and the
spinach was cooked to perfection!” I was awed at his passion for my food, and
it was the most genuine compliment I’ve ever received. I Love hearing stuff
like that. It makes me know I’m doing what I’m supposed to do. This week,
besides the Chicken Piccatta, Southern Fried Broccoli, and Sautéed Spinach that
this visitor was raving about, I’m doing the Greek Style Tilapia. I love this
dish because it not only tastes like it’s out of this world, it’s also good for
you. When I take it out of the oven I get the smells of fresh marinated Tilapia
interspersed in with the stimulating aromas of the vinaigrette and the awesome
goodness of feta cheese that has been baked. Surely this must be what it tastes
like in Greece! Ya’ll come see me this week! I want to cook for you! I’ve also
started a “Chef James K Jones” Facebook page that I will be using to sneak
peeks at our upcoming cookbook “Love, Sara” and also give you recipes and ideas
for things you can do at home to build relationships around great food! Check

These last few weeks have been a whirlwind for me
personally. Actually the last few months have been incredible as I have learned
more and more about this beautiful Miss that Jesus has brought into my life,
who in a very short time will be Mrs. James K Jones. It is hard to describe the
joyful anticipation that is occurring in both of us, and from day one I saw
clearly that her entrance into my life was a pure gift from Jesus. For me this
has been huge. In trying to explain it to a friend the other day its as if I
went through these seasons in my life where I “Had to Have” a relationship, and
I held onto what I wanted, or what I “Had to Have” with a very tight grip. I was gonna have it! But “having to have” it
made me miserable. After I gave all that up then “Boom!” Jesus sends me what HE
wants me to have and it is perfect. Not perfect in the sense that you think,
but absolutely 100% perfect for me! I think that Jesus wants me to simply
“Have” to “Have” Him... and if I do that then He gives me everything. It’s
Weird. Mysterious. Cool. Interesting. Thought-Provoking. Exciting. Fascinating.
What if I looked at everything in my life that way? What would my life look
like?
I can look back over the path of my years following Him and
see that He has taught me that in many areas. Now I’m so excited because I want
to learn how to live my whole life that way! With everything! Love doesn’t hold
with a tight grip that which already belongs to it... Jesus is teaching me
through all this that He wants me to see everything in my life as a
gift...pure...unadulterated gift... then instead of clenching my hands trying
to hold onto what I want or what I think I need to have... I can simply keep my
hands open to Him and when I do that He fills them with the greatest gifts. It
blows my mind. May we all be encouraged this week to see His gifts in our
lives, and thank Him for them.
God Bless You Guys! Thank you for your support of Kairos!
Have an incredible week!
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above...it
comes down from the Father of all that gives light. (The Apostle James)
