Documented Super Food Supper & Jesus Talk

Tonight, while waiting for Troy to return from working on my Uncle's cabin, I began to prepare supper. The boys wanted some mini frozen pancakes so we decided to have breakfast for supper. I put the bacon in the oven and as waited, I began to think of the spinach and blue cheese crumbles I had purchased earlier in the week at the Aldi. Oooohhh. Idea! I won't have breakfast for myself, I will have a salad.

I pulled the bag from the fridge, and began assembling my salad when the bacon was out of the oven. The bag of fresh spinach touted it as a "documented super food". Most people know that I am not a "super food" eater as a rule unless it is "super size". Ha Ha. (Actually I don't super size my meals at Mc D's). Super Food can you believe it? I ate a salad for supper and was excited about it.

I know I have been talking a lot about how my Wii Fit has been a stimulus for my desire for weight loss, but I want to be sure that I give the LORD His glory. I have been praying for the LORD to give me a desire to eat better and to lessen my desire for "junk food". I also asked Him to help me to "walk with Him". I do that in my Quiet Time in the WORD and prayer time. But I also want to "walk" in a physical way. After all our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. God has been faithful to answer this prayer.

Back to supper time "Jesus Talk", you may think that I have already talked enough about Jesus, but I have one more story to relay. Today, the boys were watching a Christian TV channel called Smile of a Child Network. When I passed through the room, they were showing an ad for the Holy Land Experience in Florida. This included a scene where Jesus was bloodied on the cross. It was not something I think the boys had ever seen and almost seemed too much for them. We spent some time discussing the reason why Jesus had to be nailed to the cross and how He had a bloody head, side, hands and feet. Not in graphic detail by any means however, Ephraim was very affected.

When Troy arrived home and they were eating, Ephraim said "Poor Jesus, I don't want Him to be hurt, Why did He have to die?". Troy not knowing the previous conversations gave Ephraim the answer in the same why I had done before. More discussion was had and he wanted to know if Jesus was still dead. Carson began to sing "Jesus is living in Heaven today, How do I know, How do I know, Jesus is living in Heaven today, the Bible tells me so". This seemed to be a good enough answer for Ephraim.

We may not always have our share of Super Foods (though we are working on that), but we do make an effort to feast on the WORD and to take in the things of eternal value in our home. For God's grace and His Love, We are thankful. A love so strong, He allowed His one and only Son to be brutally nailed to a cross so that we could be saved from the punishment of our sins. And that is "documented" in His WORD!
