Sometimes, Eating is Everything!

It is just the twins and I this morning at home while Kaley is at school. I have been trying to catch up on folding and putting away clothes while the girls played and watched cartoons. At least that is what I had hoped to do but the girls have been fighting and fussing making it hard to accomplish much of anything. I thought maybe they just wanted my undivided attention so I sat down to hold them and read but they were still out of sorts. Finally, I sat them at the table and gave them some cheese and goldfish. Wow, what a difference. They just needed to eat.

Isn't this how we are as christians? We try to go about our daily business but find ourselves fighting with everyone, complaining about everything, and feeling sorry for our pitiful selves. Most of the time it is simply a matter of eating. If we don't stop and turn, exercising our spirit, taking the time to eat the Word, giving ourselves to being saturated with the truth we will find it hard to get out of ourselves and into our Spirit. Praise the Lord for such practical examples in our daily life!

  3. Agree...agree. How many times in Scripture does God make similar analogy to us needing the nourishment of His Word...we have to stop long enough to savor it and be replenished.

  4. Oh His Word is so satisfying and makes me want more at the same time. It's just like God to make Himself so appetizing. Thanks for a great post today.
