I do not know about you, but I overdid in the candy department today. Students brought me treats; I ate them. Even ones I do not like.
I will blame my desire to avoid hurting feelings on my inability to resist the sweets today.
I had a stressful morning getting kids out the door. Everyone had band instruments, Valentine's, P.E. uniforms, potluck additions, and gifts to deliver. I think the Israelites had an easier time traveling into the Promised Land and it took them 40 years.
I will blame the stress on my inability to resist the sweets today.
In addition, I am fighting (and losing the battle) an allergy on my face. Twice, I woke in the night scratching my face and my sleep was terribly interrupted. On a day for lovers, I have a red beard of rash on my face, leaving me feeling less than, well, lovable.
I will blame the lack of sleep on my inability to resist the sweets today.
I can blame all I want, but the truth is, I made the choice to shove innumerable calories in my mouth.
Often, when I overeat, it is a joy issue. I forget to rejoice in all that God has given. I fail to rejoice in His goodness and grace. I forfeit the chance to remember His faithfulness.
Can you relate? SWEET!
