While I appreciate this. I am allergic to over 75% of foods and have been for decades and either brings my own food or fasts through during fellowship out of necessity. To flat out say that doing that is rude. I'd rather that and being functional enough to serve others. And I would rather eat only what my body can handle (with communion being my exception) and only be on one medication than make exceptions to avoid somebody else think I'm being rude and being on 20+ medications with horrible side effects and be in and out of the hospital. My mama died an excuciating death in part due to the latter. While I know that I will surely die unless the LORD Jesus comes first Maranatha! I have choices I can make to reduce the likelihood of dying the same way my mama did. I'd rather be strong enough to fellowship sometimes than be so sick that I cannot at all. This also made me feel very old.
So full of wisdom.
Shout out to those who read the introductions and epilogues of books! 😅
