After a couple vacations eating too much food and watching too much TV, I said “no” to even educational videos today.  What did we do?  Well, no one was bored.  We went swimming, prayed, read books, did some schoolwork, played with toys, completed some chores, ran some errands, and didn’t feel rushed.  Our day wasn’t extremely different than if the kids had watched a couple episodes of Backyardagains or I had watched Swamp People in the evening, but I think a few minutes are more like a few calories – they add up over time.  Tomorrow I plan to address the few calories, and really get back to choosing God’s best for myself and my family when it comes to food.  He has provided.  The choice and responsibility are mine.

I aspire to fill our minds with God’s truth, feed our bodies with God’s provision, and set our course according to God’s guidance.
