I didn’t participate in Halloween this year. This means that I didn’t dress for the occasion or pass out candy. This does not mean, however, that I didn’t buy candy. I mean, who wouldn’t buy candy, especially chocolate?
When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile. The big question here is why would anyone want to resist chocolate? It’s good for stress. It’s good for the heart – it’s just plain good! I must confess I ate a whole bag of Mounds bars. OK, I also ate a bag of Snickers. I couldn’t help it – it was the new almond flavor.
As a Christian, I have to remind myself that man does not live by bread alone or chocolate, but by the Word of God. And the Word clearly says we should not over indulge. I think I need to go back and reread that scripture again; I’m pretty sure it doesn’t say anything about chocolate. Guess it doesn’t really matter. The important thing is, I need to be deeper into the Word and less into the candy bag.
Ah, and now, Thanksgiving. I won’t think about turkey and dressing and mashed potatoes but I will reflect on things I am thankful for. Top of the list, my children and my grandson! His blessings are many. Perhaps, we should start counting…and name those blessings one by one. I’m sure it will surprise us what the Lord has done!
