Not a drop or a dribble – Not a bite or a nibble
I like new beginnings. I was talking to myself before I got out of bed, which was miserable. Hardly any sleep and I’m heading out on a plane tomorrow morning. I struggle with discipline when the temptations mount and the trigger is Thanksgiving. For shame on me. The poundage does not double but more veggies could replace the cookies some wonderful friends have baked and delivered. I did some of that so multiplied the temptations for my friends! Are we blessing each other or trading questionable habits? Cookies are not the enemy but the volume of cookies. The reference above is what popped into my head, with anger, when I realized the sleepless in Seattle situation might be another soldier-barista making another loaded coffee when I asked and paid for a decaf. You cannot trust them when they are busy. I’m sorry, Mercurys, but there is no excuse and I want a refund. Today I had veggies for lunch and decaf coffee for breakfast (along with some delicious cranberry bread – baked by yours truly). Tonight super plums will dance in my head because I will be asleep. No caffeine – coffee or chocolate. Look at all of the new that is coming your way with January first just a week away! We can be faithful in all things that the Lord has called us to and put away the old.
