All that was left in that box of chocolates from Valentine's Day was what had been strategically avoided, but in my desperation to quench my chocolate craving, I ate every one of them! I didn't care what the filling was. They were all covered in chocolate and that was all that mattered. Perhaps it's stress that makes me crave chocolate, or maybe it's hormones....whatever the cause, when that craving hits I will do almost anything to satisfy it. I have been known to eat chocolate icing from the tub, or chocolate chips because that is the only chocolate I can find in our house. Thankfully a box of undesirable chocolates satisfied me this time and got me to thinking....life's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get...in my best Forrest Gump voice. But to me it's more like....life's like a box of chocolates made by the most amazing chocolatier ever. Even though I never know what I'm gonna get, I do know that what ever it is, I have hope and faith in being held in His masterful hands. He satisfies my soul....and makes life, oh, so sweet!...even when it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Psalm 119:103 How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Psalm 34:8. Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
