This is the pantry that started out as an entryway in our home. But during our remodel, we decided to change where our front door was located. This left a little nook by the kitchen. When my mind's eye saw this for the first time it said "pantry."

After the pantry was shelved, I remember my very efficient and thoughtful wife filling it up in just two days with all the things you see here. My favorite shelf contains the breakfast cereal and my almond granola. I love the concept of "pantry." It makes me pause and reflect on the greatness of God. It was said by the ancient Hebrews that His storehouses are filled with love and peace.
