SPAKYUS

One of my all time favorite side dishes,that Grandmother
Bouterse fixed for me, was something she called "Spakyus."
I'm not sure how she spelled it but it was pronounced
Spa-key-us, and it was salt pork that had been cut into tiny
little squares and then fried to a crisp brown!(Mind you not
burned!)It was a Dutch meal that I loved too! You placed the
little fried cubes into a dish of kidney beans, and the salty fried
pork would add a seasoned zest to the bland beans!
Mmmmmm! So good!
We're told the same thing in scripture, with our speech.
We are to season our speech with grace, as seasoned with
salt. Too much salt can ruin a meal. Just the right amount
is perfect!
Too much saltiness in our speech will run people off, but if
it's seasoned with God's grace, it will be received with such
smooth understanding!
