Preparedness

I find that I tend to snack and eat more during the day when I don't have breakfast in the morning. Yet I don't feel like eating breakfast in the morning. The rare occasion is when the sweetheart prepares breakfast for me, or that I DECIDED to eat breakfast, or that I get so hungry that I go in search of some unhealthy craving that comes to mind.

 I find that having breakfast when I am not hungry helps me choose to eat a healthy breakfast. When I have reached the point of being hungry, I succumb to my cravings because my hunger had caused me to lose control. 

This brings to mind the value of preparedness. We need to be disciplined and infuse ourselves with the knowledge of God's love and grace for us so that we will be prepared to face any challenges that come our way. If not, when we encounter a difficult situation, we lose self-control and let that desperation control us and we grasp at any help we can find instead of relying on the god-given spirit in us. 

Time to eat breakfast! Cereal and milk this morning! Wheee!
