Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...wherever in the world you live! I hear you're a chocoholic too - I won't tell a soul! Chocolate is good for the body - and God's Word is good for the soul: "O taste and see that the Lord is good...(Psalm 34:8 KJV)." So please join me for a few moments of fun, food and inspiration - it's all calorie-free (believe that and I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge) and might even make your day!

I once got a delightful email card from a friend, announcing that it was National Chocolate Ice Cream Day and sending me the most scrumptious-looking virtual chocolate ice cream sundae you've ever seen. No calories--it LOOKED delicious! If you missed Chocolate Day, you've got my permission to take off work or doing the laundry or running the corporation TODAY, and run out right now and get yourself some REAL chocolate! If you've got kids, better take them with you!

One of my earliest kid memories is having been sent to the store to buy milk or bread. My mom watched at the window as I went...but she did not see me return "in due season." She watched and watched and eventually, she saw her little daughter sauntering down the street with a "buddy," chocolate ice cream running down both their faces. You see, on my way to the store, I encountered my friend who asked me how much money I had. I showed her and she promptly suggested, "You freat me and I'll freat you--and we'll both get some ice cream!" I wasn't too worldly-wise in those days--I spent the milk money on memorable chocolate, made a good friend, and got a good reprimand from my Mama!

Say "chocolate" and my eyes still light up--for you see, I've never outgrown the delight of indulging in creamy, crunchy, NUTTY chocolate...can't you just taste it now! Do our eyes also light up in delight when we hear the Name of Jesus? When we grab a morsel of delight from God's Word? When we share that morsel with another? Or has it become a hum-drum routine love affair--the chocolate's melted, the wonder's gone, de-light has gone out!

Oh, that we would fall in love anew today with our Lord and Savior, to delight/re-light in His presence and rejoice in His love....THEN go light up someone else's "DE-lighted" eyes (and there's a lot of people in our world for whom the light's gone out!), as we share the light of His love--a smile, a hug, a word of encouragement--and yes, some CHOCOLATE too! Do it today--and go have yourself a DELIGHTFUL, God-honoring, choco-rich day!
