Salt of the earth

"You are the salt of the earth..." According to Matthew 5:13 this is who Jesus the son of the living God says you are! The salt of the earth. I use salt to enhance the taste of certain foods like grits. The Food Networks great southern cook Mrs. Paula Deane uses a pinch of salt in a lot of her recipies to enhance the taste. Salt is used to preserve or to make it last, like country hams are cured in salt to make them last untill you cook them for a Christmas morning breakfast. Jesus says that I am the salt of the earth! My speech, my life, my responces to circumstances, my love for my wife, my love for other people, my work, my submission to authority can be enhanced with the love, grace and forgiveness of Jesus Christ!
