Today's devotional: "The ABC's of Abundance: Turkey and All the Trimmings!?!"
Thanksgiving at Peggie's Place . . . "Don't Let the Grinch Steal Thanksgiving!"
Some people eat to live...others live to EAT! I'm in the second group--sorta--FOOD is my middle name! Now while I certainly recognize there are more important reasons for living than just EATING, I must admit it IS one of my favorite pasttimes! When I'm past the line of reasonability, accountability, and refusability, you can bet I'll be heading for the chocolate ice cream in the freezer, the potato chips in the closet, and if YOU have some goodies in YOUR closet, watch out--don't let me in the front door!Christmas is a time of great pleasure for foodaholics...the Christmas cookies, Christmas breads, Christmas candies; the office parties, the sit-down dinners and don't forget the delivery pizza...and the DIET you'll go on NEXT month! Come on, be honest, you love it all too! So what's the point? A lecture from the food-lover herself? No way...but where's the middle ground?
It's found between the fun and faith we enjoy daily--it's the REAL FOOD and sustenance of our lives--the Word of God. That Word will bring balance to our fun AND our faith. It will feed our souls and strengthen our spirits as no earthly food will ever do. God's Word is a delight to the longings and yearnings of our heart--we can indulge there without limit--feasting on His love, grace, mercy and eternal joy.
Earthly food doesn't last--eternal food lasts forever and will keep us HERE and take us THERE! It's calorie-free, fat-free, sugar-free, and the wonderful, wholesome Word of God--everlasting food for the eternal soul. Believe it! In the middle of your celebrations of fun and faith, enjoy that fantasy fudge and fantastic food--but don't forget where your real pleasure resides...in HIM and in HIS WORD! Indulge in THOSE delights as well--and you will have a wonderful day!
Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word
"Thy words were found, and I did eat them, and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart; for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts (Jeremiah 15:16)."
In the Pages of the Bible--enjoy the lyrics & tune. "Father, may I never forget, in the middle of my busy holiday plans, that YOU are the center of it all. You are the one who makes my faith--AND my fun--to be full and complete. Your Word is the staple of my soul and spirit; it is the joy and the desire of my heart. May You--and Your Word--always remain in the center of my life, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
