Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOOD! I've always had a love hate relationship with it but how consuming it is now! I don't need to watch my carbs, do I? but I am obsessed with looking at the carb count of everything now. It takes hours for me to grocery shop, then I end up leaving frustrated. Mark and I ate at the Panda Express today- I was so pleased with myself getting the string beans and chicken (13 carbs)- but they trick you! That didn't include the low mein noodles as a SIDE!! (78 carbs!!!)
Ryan (my son) believes we all need to wage war on carbs and sugar. He's probably right. I watch him hanging from tiny little pieces of anything or balancing on his slack line and I'm in awe of his physical strength. The strength of his thick strong fingers. The callouses he chooses to allow on his fingers for climbing and guitar and is proud of .... verses the callouses on Leah's tiny slim fingers. These become a symbol of her inner strength and endurance. We continue to learn her body - her reactions to foods - mistakes are miserable with the feelings similar to a hangover. I ache and wish it were me and not her and she amazes me again with her strength. One "taste" not planned for can cause such chaos. Its evil, I hate it.
Yet because of my devotional today my thoughts are brought back to Psalm 34:8. "Taste and see that I am Good-----I am training you to find Me in each moment and to be a channel of My loving Presence. Sometimes My blessings come to you in mysterious ways: through pain and trouble. Understanding will fail you, but trust will keep you close to Me." (Sarah Young)
God played this song for me today......
