I will remember...

"I will remember the deeds of the LORD;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago." Psalm 77:11

"The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." Psalm 18:2

Yesterday I had cider and donuts (again!) with my niece before dropping her off at the airport. I justified it by wanting  to remind her of the little things that make Fall in Michigan so inviting and remind her of "home."  My plan didn't make it all better for her (or me!). I had too many donuts. I was reminded of a few things. First of all, too many donuts are not good for me. They are full of sugar and God knows how sugar is the enemy for me since it is so addictive. Don't you just love the kind covered with cinnamon and sugar, especially when they are still hot? I don't know how some people can eat just one. Donuts do not make me feel better. The whole emotional eating thing is crazy. Why I would think donuts are comfort is crazy. I know God is the only one who can give us comfort. This morning (a little late) I remembered that if I fill myself with junk, there isn't room for the good things. Also, if I fill my thoughts and time with anything other than God, there isn't room for Him. God knows I need Him more today than I did yesterday.



I know I've posted this song many times before, but this morning it's worth hearing again. He always makes me glad.
