I Did it Again

The Good News Today Is....we can stand up to temptations. Too much food, too much drink, spending too much money, partying too much....it's almost over...these holiday temptations. Every year I think this will be the year I don't fall into the same old trap, but my stomach tells me I ate too much, and my checkbook tells me I spent too much, once again this year. I did better than last year, but I still overdid. In the midst of the fun and laughter it really didn't seem to be a problem, but I will have to pay the consequences over the next few months; watching what I eat and paying off the credit card! "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so you can stand up under it." 1Cr 10:13. Well, I didn't exactly find my way out before I ate that chocolate torte or bought the outrageously expensive shoes my daughter wanted...but I did do better than usual.
