Life is like a box of chocolates.

There are 100 days until Christmas!!! WooHoo just had to share.


Forrest Gump said "Life is like a box of chocolate you never know what your gonna get". Whether you get, caramel, raspberry, orange or some funkified flavor no on wants to guess at, you take a bite (at least I do) of every single one to see what they are. Then if you are like me you save the best for last. These days they do have a flavor guide to make it easy for you. With life being like a box of chocolates, we actually have more of a box of temptation with no flavor guide to tell us which ones are the "good" ones. The master of temptation himself is satan, he can twist and manipulate things to look oh so good and not oh so bad. We know right from wrong but, when the devil is involved he will lie and do everything in his power to get you to do it. I guess it is kind of like hardcore "peer pressure". We convince ourselves that one time wont hurt, who will know?, it is not that bad, I am a good person so what harm will it do? you think no one will know? YOU WILL!! Let us not forget that God knows...He sees everything, knows everything, hears everything I can keep going but, I think you get the point. One of the awesome things about God is...He may see everything we do but, He loves us just the same. God will also forgive us if we ask Him. 1 John 1:9 says If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (NKJ) Now this does not mean you can just go out and deliberately start sinning. God wants us to walk with Him in everything we do. Psalm 1:1-3 says Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither, And whatever he does shall prosper. (NKJ) In our lives if we can recognize that box of chocolates and refuse to eat of them then we have defeated satan and his attempts to defeat us. God has something much better than chocolate and that is what I want......

That's my thought for the day,

Crazy for Christmas
