Give Me Cherries.

You see the bowl full of beautiful cherries.

Now, see the doughnut.

and the one bite missing..

This morning I strolled intro the kitchen for breakfast.

Open the fridge, cherries,yes!

I turn around and there they lay, the enemy...

a box full of crispy doughnuts.

It can be as easy as telling yourself.

DON'T EAT THE DOUGHNUT.

Instead I choose to let my desires take over.

I know the doughnut is bad for me.

The cherries would make a more appetizing breakfast..

They are better for me.

I would feel fuller longer.

So why do I choose the doughnut?

It gives me that instant gratification.

It is short lived of course.

An hour later, well more like 10 minutes later I am looking for something

that can fill my appetite.

I think life is a lot like cherries and doughnuts.

We have a choice.

We can choose what is good for us,

or give in to what seems satisfying.

I am working on not giving in to the doughnuts.

It is about controlling your thoughts and not letting them control your actions.

I want what is best for me, and I know God does.

So I say, give me cherries.
