“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Thursday; October 9, 2008

          Being a fan of just about any kind of food, I can safely say that there isn’t much I don’t like.  Suffice it to say, you don’t get a body like this being sustained by tofu and carrot juice!  I love to eat; but, unfortunately, in this case, love isn’t a many splendid thing.   

          While you might detect a bit of tongue-in-cheek in the preceding, there is an element of truth in the adage “we are what we eat”.   Whether good or bad, what we put in our bodies stays there.

          In an interesting twist, the Bible parallels this type of thinking when it observes, “The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the body.” (Proverbs 18:8)  Just like a physique crafted by those tiny little M&Ms, bits of gossip and idle talk make up our personality.  Every time we listen to someone’s criticism of someone else our thought-process (and eventually our attitudes) are molded.

          Let’s do our minds a favor.  Let’s go on a gossip-free diet.  Our lives and our attitudes will look a lot better.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
