Aug 24, 2013 - Day 16 of SD: One thing about getting junk out of your body is that it makes you keenly aware of what does not agree with you. Right now, cucumbers and my belly are having a huge disagreement, and the cucumbers are winning! Excuse me for my brutal honesty, but this is real life.
Today was a day of "catching up" with family! It started with an unexpected visit from my son, Eric and his sweet bride, Caitlin, followed by Face Time with Emily, and ended with hanging out in KC with my baby sister, Michelle and the gang. It did my heart good to laugh and visit! Technology seems to have hindered our ability to communicate, don't ya think? We peek into each other's lives on various social networking media, text instead of talk, and spend most of our time looking at one screen or another.
I have decided that even the devil is using my computer to tempt me to jump off the no-sugar wagon. Today, I was pinning healthy recipes on Pinterest, and this little pop-up ad came up on a website I had been redirected to. Guess what it was advertising! M&Ms!!! How stinking sneaky is that? Thankfully, it didn't make me want to jump up and drive to Stripes for M&Ms, but that's pretty crazy!
The lesson in that is that our enemy, the devil, really does prowl around like a lion, seeking to steal, kill, and destroy (1 Peter 5:8), but "God works all things together for good for those who love Him" (Romans 8:28).
Tomorrow, I challenge you to call someone up with whom you haven't spoken in a while, spend some face-to-face time with a loved one, or just visit with the people at your table instead of looking at your phone.
Blessings!
