Aiming High

Description

In all I am, do, and will write, my aim is to hit God's mark. I will have moments of being misguided as I am not perfect, but know that I serve a God that loves me through it all.

Tooth Decay and All That Rot

Candy.  Did somebody say candy?  Love candy...especially ooey-gooey candy.


Grapes, apples and apricots, too.
Cranberries, dates with all that goo.
Peaches, pears, cherries galore
Who can ask for anything more?

Leathery goodness and sticky mess
Dried to perfection they are the best
No additives or allergens hiding inside
Candy designed by God with pride.

I'll step off my high horse now.  Lest you think I am some kind of candy snob, let me just tell you, candy is a weakness.  Anything with caramel in it.   Or peanut butter/chocolate combos.

Problem:  allergens...and tooth decay.  I once had a jelly bean rip out my tooth crown.  Very expensive dietary deviation.

I used to lament not being able to have "real" candy.  Until my then four year old daughter, Beautiful,while munching on a date, looked up at me and said, "Mom, God sure makes great candy!" 

Why settle for second best?  Wander over and see what others are munching on.

Many Blessings,
Holly

P.S.  In case you're wondering where I've been.  I have a broken finger on my dominate hand and a five month old in a half body cast with a broken femur.  Long story.  Maybe I'll post about it.  Let's just say it involved steps.  "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me..."

I avoid caramel for that very reason!
I don't even like caramel.

Long time, no see. But I guess your excuse . . .uh . . . reason is a good one. I've not been blogging much either. The winter blues? nothing to say? Oh, well. I had a hard time finding you today because you were not on my friend's list. So I added you!

Keep warm!
