How many times has the salt shaker lid fell off as we were sprinkling our food and ruined it. Salt is also used when we preserve or can our food. There is something in it that makes our food last along time. Our Grandparents were good at preserving the food they grew in their gardens over the summer months. I love to eat canned corn from the garden in the winter.
Salt is used in the winter time to melt ice.
When the roads get frozen and slippery the trucks are called out to dump salt on them to melt the ice. Sometimes my steps outside get a layer of ice on them in the winter, and all I have to do is sprinkle a little salt on them and you can hear the ice crack up and within minutes its melted. So we can see that salt has many uses. In the book of Matthew chapter 5 and verse 13 it says that YOU are the salt of the earth. As I was looking out at my neighborhood the Lord spoke to me that I was the salt of my neighborhood.
