Holidays

The holidays can be very difficult in eating situations. Help us, Lord, to focus on our relationship with you and with people instead of on the food.
On Thanksgiving, with God's help, I was able to stay within hunger and satisfaction parameters. I am noticing that these rich foods are not whole body pleasers. Even though I did not overeat my stomach was a little upset.
I will pray more about food choices.

November

This is Thanksgiving month and I have so much to be thankful for. Two family members came through surgeries very well and with good reports.
During these stressful times the Lord dealt with me about standing on His word and His promises and not wavering no matter what circumstances looked like. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways and if I say the truth one moment and speak out of fear the next I will not be in faith at all.
I can't say there was no turning to food for comfort, but very little. Thank you that you change us little by little, Lord, and that your mercies are new every morning.
