Advent Day 11

"Cooking well doesn't mean cooking fancy." -Julia Child

I am glad that is the truth.  I am not a fancy cook, but don't we all love great tasting food especially during the holidays?  I love food- some might even say obsessed.  It has often become an idol in my life.  There are some days where I think about food constantly.  It doesn't make me feel that great to admit, but it is the absolute truth.  Everyone is always saying, "It's the holidays- you can eat whatever you want."  But I have to say no, what turns into one time turns into another and another until I am continually making bad choices.  I will continue to "eat well" and eat what is provided, but I will turn my prayers into prayers of self-control.  Thank you God for the variety of foods we have available.  We take so much for granted.  




Tonight I don't have many pictures just one- a picture of my prompt- angel.  Since we had AWANA tonight it was a quick Scripture reading and then out the door.  Give me grace tonight as I don't have much to say.  I am weary from worrying about the dryer, planning and cleaning from the party this week, and extending my energy to teaching and disciplining the girls.  I am drained.  It is just time for peace.  I am looking forward to school break and Friday will be a Christmas movie day.  So I pray you may find peace this holiday season with all the busyness.  God bless!
