Food

Oh what a subject for me to write about. My family has so many issues that I have been known to say that food is pretty much a “four letter word” for me. I posted this once and someone said “but it is a four letter word” my response was “each time I think about food I want to swear”. Looking forward to my old age I just shudder about what food might be available if I am to be confined to an institution.

I need to remember though that I can at least still eat. Many others cannot. I am blessed simply because God selected Australia as the place for me to live. He also blessed me with the time that He selected for me. Had I been born in previous centuries I would have been very ill or died at a very early age. So while the whole issue of food annoys me quite a bit I have to remember on a daily basis that I am very blessed.

Of course the other thing that I need to remember is that while I need food to survive that it can be overindulged in. That will and has created other problems to be dealt with. Along with this there is one other thing that I need to remember. In Deuteronomy 8:3 we read “And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.” So while food can be a trial, the Lord knows exactly what I need and can use it to teach me lessons as well.
