I have been convicted this Christmas season...why you ask? It has nothing to do with spending or needing to be more focused on Christ. It has everything to do with eating. My new motto is "Christmas is not an excuse to overeat". In the past, I have allowed the season to dictate my eating habits, but no more. I have really been convicted of this. Food is my drug of choice. It is a neccessity that has become an addiction.
I have discovered that I rank sin. No really. I think overeating is a much lesser sin than say, I don't know, stealing $50k or killing your neighbour. The Bible doesn't rank sin, it tells us we all sin, regardless of what that sin may look like.
So, I have been convicted and it has been a good reminder. I have not gained a single pound this Christmas. In fact, I have lost a couple! Yay Me!
Christmas is not about the food. It is about the Saviour. What better focus could there be than that?
