I am interrupting my nutritional blogging to highlight some wonderful food for the soul. It is the story of a kettle that is passed down through generations. Will Ford tells the story of the kettle. The kettle story goes back a number of generations and weaves its way from plantation to Lee’s last battle to Appomattox and all the way to Martin Luther King.
The story of the kettle alone is fascinating, but even more fascinating is how a descendant of the slave owner comes to hear the kettle story. This story is so miraculous that it cries out that God’s hand has been on the kettle throughout its existence.
I first heard about this story on an Eric Metaxix Show podcast. When you hear the men tell their story, it is obvious that they themselves are amazed at the events that have occurred. So I bought their book, The Dream King, and it was even more miraculous to read.
If you want to be encouraged and uplifted……it you want to learn some very interesting history…..if you want, perhaps, to see a glimpse of a future where black and white people are truly brothers and sisters and love each other as they were created to do….then explore this story!
