Isaiah 26:3-4
Isn't it amazing that we have this assurance in God?! Some versions say, "God will keep you in perfect peace." Boy, isn't that needed in today's world?! This applies to what we eat, as well. Keep at it and rely on God for direction and wisdom. And eat what He has provided for you to eat - fruit, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, eggs and fresh dairy products. Keep at it and learn to eat intentionally, because it is a thinking re-training process. If you have kids, get them in on the process and talk about the real food you each ate that day and give God praise for providing it for you.
Next week I will begin blogging about being prepared for disasters - man-made and natural. Food prices are going up along with gasoline prices. Power brown-outs have become a common occurrence. You can't buy groceries if the power is down. What if a storm knocks out power to your town? Do you have enough food and water in the house to survive on for a week or two? Jesus said that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves. Do you have enough food and water to help out a neighbor who isn't prepared. What can you do to be prepared? We don't need to be scared - we need to be prepared! And we need to keep our minds focused on God!!
Decor
Speaking of keeping focused on God... I love to study the names of God and what they mean. In this particular frame, I again used scrapbook paper for a background. But, this time, I printed out names for the Father, the Son and the Spirit on textured paper. The next step was to tear them out and ink the edges with a brown stamp pad. Then, I glued each name onto the background paper with a glue stick. Easy art with meaning!
