Eating

Happy Sunday everyone! We are having such a nice day today! After Church, the kids and I went to a women's lunch with our church ladies, and after that, we vegged out on the couch (we got a new one, and its so comfy!) until The Most Handsome Hubby had to go to work.
Tonight, The Boy was eating, and gobbling up every bite, and begging for more almost before his mouth was empty. I couldn't help but laugh at his giant mouth, and the excited noises he was making. The Girl decided to get in on the action, but she was sticking non-food items in his mouth (a toy, a empty spoon, a sock, etc) He eventually refused to open his mouth for anything, including the yummy pears I had been feeding him!
It reminded me of my devotions a few days ago in Jeremiah and Psalms: Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. Psalm 34:8, and Jeremiah 15:16 When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, LORD God Almighty.
The word of God is our spiritual food. We eat by reading it. Studying it. We go to church to be fed by the teaching of the Pastor. We are in charge of our diet, though. We choose to open our mouths and be fed, or clamp our lips close and not receive. We are in charge of whether or not we get a good meal, or go hungry. We also need to only eat good things, not lies and garbage (or socks and toys, haha!)
