Christmas, New Year and occasions likes these including birthdays, provide opportunities for celebration.. On 17 November, it was my wife's birthday and we had a few dinners and lunches with family and friends.
Our children and grandchildren took us out for meals on different occasions and on the very day itself, our pastor and friend took us to Jack's place to have lunch. We celebrated with our Cell group members when we went to Food Haven for buffet lunch.
So the last week or so we must have added on extra calories and increased the level of cholesterol to our bodies! Everyone tells us "once in a while it does not matter." I've yet to truly understand the meaning of "once in a while." This week we really need to go back to simple meals to keep healthy. But then it will soon be Christmas and we once again will indulge in the "once in a while" feasting.
Some people seem to think in life we just "Eat, drink and me merry, for tomorrow we diet."
God wants us to enjoy life. He wants us to enjoy our fellowship with family and friends. We also need to discipline ourselves. The word 'disciple' and 'discipline' derive from the same root word.
