Day 8 - Isn't This Just a Small Thing

"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.  And to be thankful."  Colossians 3:15

Thought for the Day:  My weight loss goal isn't a number on the scale.  My real weight loss goal is peace.

Today Lysa brought up gluttony as an "acceptable" sin.  How true is that?  Friends and I have talked about this subject before.  Why do we not talk about it?  Would we become super legalistic about food?  Why does the struggle with food have to be such a private battle?  Do we really take food addiction seriously?

To be honest I'm not sure how I would do at a church potluck if someone walked up to me & said, "Sweetie don't you think you should eat some fruit instead of that brownie?"  I think maybe that would hurt me more than any of the comments I have received over the years about my clothes, being single, or my strong personality!

So is our (as a society) struggle with food a small thing?  I'm going to have to say no, it isn't small.
