🌱 Happy New Year! Food for the Spirit, Strength for the Body 🌱

As we step into this New Year, may your first nourishment be food for the spirit — joy, love, and compassion to feed your soul. May your body be strengthened by the gifts of the earth, every seed, fruit, and plant yielding life, health, and vitality. As it is written in Genesis 1:29:

“Then God said, ‘Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.’”

May you, like Daniel and his companions, choose food that honors your body and spirit, finding strength, clarity, and wisdom in simple, wholesome choices. Reflecting on Daniel 1:12‑16:

“Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink… At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished…”
May your year be long, full of health, vitality, and energy, and may your choices cultivate peace in your place, as Proverbs 15:17 beautifully reminds us:

“Better a dish of vegetables where there is love than a fattened ox with hatred.”

Today, we cherish this truth in a simple, nourishing meal — a few of us in peace, enjoying a traditional potato salad veganized: potatoes, apples, sour cucumbers, onions, carrots (including white carrots sometimes called parsnips), vegan soy mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and a bit of mustard. This is proper feasting with care and harmony, and this is how we enter the New Year — in peace, joy, and mindful abundance.


We are also reminded of the Passover supper as described in the Gospel of Peace (a early Christian text): Jesus shared bread and grapes with his disciples, a meal of simple nourishment and fellowship rather than strong drink or fish — a reminder that sacred celebration can be grounded in peace and shared sustenance.

Let us also be mindful with strong drinks and the dangers around us — New Year is not about sacrifices, bombs, or alcohol, but about shared peace, nourishing vegetation, and fresh beginnings. The drink we are enjoying is real compost — made from fruits, water, and a bit of sugar — showing that safe, creative, and mindful choices can be both traditional and life‑giving.


May you go out in joy and be led forth in peace, as the trees and fields clap their hands in celebration, echoing Isaiah 55:12.
May your life be nourished by the earth’s abundance, remembering Psalm 65:9‑10 and Psalm 104:14‑15, celebrating the gifts of plants and creation that sustain us.

🌿 May we receive the revelation that true dominion is not in temples or control, but in tending the garden, caring for the animals, and nurturing the earth.

🌿 May this be a year of healing and health for all. Just as I have received healing and vitality through the Genesis 1:29 diet, I share this not as judgment, but as a gift and blessing — may many others receive this revelation and the nourishing joy it brings.

🌿 May we keep seeking truth and justice, listening to the spirit within that gently guides us toward truth and compassion, not merely following fallen laws.

🌿 Here’s to a New Year of mindful abundance, health, compassion, and nourishment — for body, soul, and spirit. May we choose the path of joy, loving‑kindness, and wisdom — with a plate of peace in our hands and hearts. Amen. 🌿

From Chains to Freedom: How Going Vegan Led Me to Christ 🌱

From Chains to Freedom: How Going Vegan Led Me to Christ 🌱 From Chains to Freedom: How Going Vegan Led Me to Christ 🌱  If I can do it. Y ou can too! As my t-shirt says behind my roots: "Lets root for eachother!" - Written by Natalia Magdalena Botvinjevs  I used to feel like I was in chains — physically, mentally, and spiritually. My body hurt, my mind was clouded, and my soul was restless and hurting. I was raised in confusion — a daughter of a woman who called herself Catholic in one breath and a witch in the next. I saw darkness dressed up as light. I lived a life of survival, pain, and numbness — a life far from peace. But something started to shift when I went vegan. At first, it wasn’t about religion. I didn’t even really believe in God yet. It began with something simple — a relationship with animals . I had a cat, a dog, birds… and I started to see that they had personalities, emotions, preferences, fears, and love . They weren’t just animals — they were someone. ...

Barrabas Means Son Of The Father 🌱✨

Barrabas Means Son Of The Father 🌱✨ Drawing by Dmitrijs Botvinjevs that inspired this blog today  3.april 2026 🇷🇺🇵🇱🇩🇰👇 There is a moment in the Gospel story that has always struck me deeply. The crowd stands before Pilate, and two men are presented: Jesus, and Barabbas. One is innocent, the other guilty. And yet the crowd cries out for Barabbas to be released. But then I learned something that made this scene even more powerful. The name Barabbas comes from Aramaic: Bar means son Abba means father So Bar-Abba literally means “son of the father.” In that moment, the people chose one “son of the father” to go free, while the true Son of the Father took his place. Jesus stood there, silently accepting what was happening. He stepped into the place of the guilty. He took the place of Barabbas. And in a deeper sense, He took our place too. “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.” Jesus did not come to continue a system of endless sacrifice. He came to fulfill it. He becam...
