Thanks to all of you who commented that you also had a recent experience with temptation that you conquered. It's great to know that so many of you are making your stand RIGHT here! I would love to declare that for the rest of my life, I won't stumble in the area of food. And that is my plan - But I am old enough, and have lived long enough, to declare that I am living ONE DAY AT A TIME. It is better to make a stand daily and rejoice in small victories than boast. I CAN declare that I am eating better daily and my future is bright. :) Amen! Thanks to all who sent your story yesterday. I love being a part of this family.
Thanks Bree for the recipes. Did everyone get them?
One of the things that the fall reminds me of is the "color of death." The leaves, as they DIE, display such brilliant colors don't they? As I looked out my window this morning I realized that as my flesh has "died" (my desire to stuff food in my mouth all day long) my life has become colored with brilliant things. Sometimes we see death as a negative - but the leaves remind me that death can have a beautiful affect. I want to continue to live a surrendered life (there's a lot of death in that) to God, to my health, in my marriage, to my children and grandchildren, to my friends, etc. Surrender means giving up my right to do what I want to do. As I follow Jesus, I do what God's word directs........as I follow a healthy plan, I do what is right for my body regardless of my desires........as I follow the covenant of marriage, I do what is right regardless of whether it's easy or not.........etc.
Death - beautiful colors - brilliance for all to see.................
I know we are choosing life, but today, the brilliance of "death" is my focus. Can you see it? :)
Love you - PK
