So I'm reading along in the word of God today and I came upon this verse, "If you have found honey, eat only enough for you, or else, having too much, you will vomit it." (Proverbs 25:16) That's scripture! Dang.
I think about how many times I've come upon (proverbial) honey and eaten enough for me and a small African village. It's no wonder I've been figuratively, if not literally, vomitting.
Yet what speaks to me at a deeper level is that even in ancient times, people had to be reminded not to gorge themselves on sweets. This is good news for me because it means I'm not completely pathetic. Clearly, this is a centuries-old problem. Maybe I'm not a total loss. Maybe I can in fact decrease after all.
Keeping my hands out of the honey jar,
Aileen
