Blogging Niki: My Yiayia & Pearls Before Swine

My Yiayia & Pearls Before Swine

Posted Mon Jun 29, 2009 4:26PM by Niki Alvey

My Yiayia was my best friend. I loved her more than anyone. She died when I was 13 but before she died she told me she would always watch over me and always be with me. I miss her so much.

Bestemor (Brian's grandmother) clipped out this Pearls Before Swine comic strip and sent it to me a few weeks ago. It was one of the nicest things anyone has ever sent me. I cried when I read it.

We all went up to Nanette's cabin this Saturday and had a really nice visit with Nanette, Bestemor, Kailyn and Kenna (the kids cousins). Bestemor asked me if I liked the Greek fasolatha recipe she had sent too. I did, it was just like my Yiayia and mom made but I LOVED this comic strip.

Funny cartoon. I think this is a very important topic as everybody faces it sooner or later. Not long ago I read a very interesting book Blue Bird by Meterlink. Its pdf version can be downloaded from shared files SE http://filecraft.com . I've heard that it is one of the most favourite books to a lot of children. But when I read that book I found answers and arguments which helped me to take the loss easier.

This is really heartening to read this article. I am really touched by the real story and the comic story as well. I have grownup knowing that those who die become a star in the sky. This has been proved here through this comic sequence. In my opinion, the sky holds everything if we watch it carefully. A lot of new faces are seen whenever you look at the star-studded sky. I think that the last picture where the grandma’s image is the best of the lot. Kayak Pools Midwest

Pearls before swine refers to a quotation from Matthew 7:6 in the discourse on holiness, a section of Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, implying that things (such as pearls) should not be put in front of people (or in this case, swine) who do not appreciate their value.

Pearls before swine is referring to the Gospel (pearls) given to people (swine, not literal or degrading, but used to emphasize the point of the comparison) whose spiritual capacity hasn't yet reached a point that allows them to understand, respect, or appreciate the good news (Gospel). No implication is given that all (swine) have chosen not to value, but rather that more have no relationship with God, which can be a result of several reasons -- not just rejection and refusal.
