I’ve been thinking about the power of a bagel lately. Last month my wife and I attended an out of state funeral service of a good friend of hers who passed away unexpectedly. Her friend was known for his love of bagels; not so much the bagel itself, but what it could do. He used bagels to gather people together, connect with individuals on a deeper level, and show compassion to those in times of need. I learned some of his sayings (food themed, of course), like ‘trust the chef (have a little faith),’ ‘make a bigger table (bring more people into your life),’ and ‘sip slowly (stay in the moment).’
