Have you ever tried a snack or food from one of those whole foods or health grocery stores?
Just now, I was finishing up a half of my Subway cookies (gingerbread & double-chocolate) on our way out of the house. I didn't have much time to make something, so I also brought along a lemon fig bar. Two completely different snacks on the nutritional value chart
:-) As I was eating I began to think that God's love is a lot like that lemon fig bar.
Not a lot of people want to consider lemon fig bars for a couple of reasons: they are a bit more costly than other snacks, and simply because they are healthy. Although there seems to be somewhat of a health trend with my generation, it's so much easier to just opt for a 60¢ cookie at a deli down the street. The cookie tastes good, and by golly gee if it's from Subway how bad can it be?
Each Subway cookie has 18g of sugar and 30 carbs, opposed to the fig bar nutritional content of 10g of sugar and 20 carbs. Needless to say that because the ingredients for the fig bars are natural, the bars become a sort of super food. Yes, I went there.
After finishing my fig bar I don't feel like I want to eat more like with the cookies, I felt satisfied.
We really are what we eat- i guess this puts me somewhere in the middle. :/ More than anything we are what we mentally consume.
