Yesterday I had another Christmas luncheon and I ate smart. It was at The Old Spagetti Factory in Atlanta. I had whole wheat spagetti with marinara sauce. I also had a side salad and a quarter cup of ice cream. To be honest, the spagetti did not taste good. I would rather of had the lasagna. The lady across the table had it and it looked good. It was huge too. Looking around the table at those who ate the lasagna, it was obvious why they were all so large. Sweet ladies and wonderful people, but very large. I think if I went there with my wife I would buy one piece of lasagna and split it with her, and maybe one of my kids.
So I made the sacrifice and ate the spagetti that tasts like sticks. For dinner my wife bought a cheese pizza. I was hungry, but I decided not to eat any of the pizza, so instead I ate an apple and had a diet coke for dinner. My stomace was growling as I drifted off to sleep, but I knew the sacrifice would pay off in the morning--and it did.
Tonight we have another Christmas eating meeting. It is a Christmas dinner with the staff. My wife is cooking, and she's and awesome cook. However, once again, I will exercise extreme self-control and probably only have a salad.
Verse of the Day: 2 Peter 1:5-8
5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control , to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. NKJV
