Every day begins with a reminder that we are empty. Our bodies processed the fuel we gave them from the day before, and shortly after we wake up, we feel hungry. We need to eat to replenish our energy and the nutrients for our body to function. The same can be true for us spiritually. So today we are celebrating never being empty!
