When I first read this prompt, I took it to be asking, “What feeds your soul?”
Then I wondered if it was instead referring to actual food; but since soul food is a particular Southern cuisine, I discarded that idea.
So, what feeds my soul?
- faith encouragement from other Christians
- reminders of truth from fellow Christians
- the prayers of others
- listening to good music
- making music myself
- quietness
- a peaceful place outside
- quiet mornings
- an empathetic, understanding friend
- writing
For me, it’s all about the quiet. It’s a rare commodity in a house with four children (as you well know!).The opportunity to read in quiet, to walk on our dirt road in the quiet early morning, to take an afternoon nap . . .
And if I get enough quiet time, then music. But since my time without noise is so limited, I usually forgo the music to have as much quiet time as I can get.
My first thought is gardening.
