This is the way [the Lord God] governs the nations and provides food in abundance. Job 36:31 NIV Bible
We went out of town overnight to a small country community. About ten miles out of town, there is a country buffet with all homemade style foods, and lots of thick, creamy gravy to slather all over everything.
Buffets and I have a long love-hate relationship! I love the buffets, but end up hating myself for indulging and making myself sick to my stomach by eating so much! Sure, I have my reasons: I want to get my money's worth! I haven't gone to a buffet in a long time, so I deserve to treat myself! It is a shame to waste all this good food on my plate and stop while my stomach is comfortable! You've got it! I figure out ways to rationalized eating myself silly!
You would think I'd know better after all these years! Christ has shown me over and over again over the 30+ years that He's allowed the greatest portion of the 80 pound weight loss to stay off, that I have to be careful when it comes to buffets. So, this time, thanks to the Lord God watching out for me, when I really don't want to watch out, He had me stop eating while I my stomach still felt comfortable. Sure, there were lots of things to go back and get, but it felt so good to be able to walk out of the doors of the buffet and not feel like I had to unbutton my pants that have started to feel two sizes too small.
