| You are down home and traditional. You appreciate a home cooked meal that reminds you of your childhood. When it comes to choices, pleasure always wins out for you. You never sacrifice quality of experience. You are not anxious to try new things. You tend to be both personally and fiscally conservative. I'm insulted that the hamburger condiment choices didn't include mustard. It's not REAL if there is no mustard! 🤣 |
Bible in a Year:
Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.
“Daddy, will you read to me?” my daughter asked. It’s not an unusual question for a child to make of a parent. But my daughter is eleven now. These days, such requests are fewer than they were when she was younger. “Yes,” I said happily, and she curled up next to me on the couch.
As I read to her (from The Fellowship of the Ring), she practically melted into me. It was one of those glorious moments as a parent, when we feel perhaps just an inkling of the perfect love our Father has for us and His deep desire for us to “cuddle in” to His presence and love.
I realized in that moment that I’m a lot like my eleven-year-old. Much of the time, I’m focused on being independent. It’s so easy to lose touch with God’s love for us, a tender and protective love that Psalm 116 describes as “gracious and righteous . . . full of compassion” (v. 5). It’s a love where, like my daughter, I can curl up in God’s lap, at home in His delight for me.
Psalm 116:7 suggests that we might need to regularly remind ourselves of God’s good love, and then crawl up into His waiting arms: “Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.” And indeed, He has.
Reflect & Pray
When was the last time you rested quietly in God’s love? What barriers, if any, might keep you from experiencing the Father’s delight for you?
Father, thank You for Your perfect love for me. Help me to remember that love and to rest in Your goodness and delight in me.
Hi!
Mine came out Subway and I NEVER eat there.
I am KFC!
There's something old school and quaint about you. You appreciate quality and like doing things the right way. You are down to earth and practical. You want a meal that's filling and tasty... nothing more. It's likely that your taste and habits haven't changed much over the years. Why mess with what's working? You are calm and easily satisfied. You find a lot to be happy with in life, and you are truly content.
I am Burger King.
The survey sez...
You Are KFC
Which is just as well since I love fried chicken.
You are Stomach Pump Sally’s.
I’m sure this place has fine food.
Can’t beat fried chicken for comfort food. :)
Thank YOU for playing, PRO! Wendy’s makes a pretty good burger!
Burger King...old fashioned burgers! Good result!
Can’t beat it! Have you had Popeye’s? It’s yummy too.
Sounds very....er....promising.
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
THANK YOU
for your service!
You Are Burger King
You are edgy, irreverent, and a risk taker. You enjoy anything that's bold and brash.
You say whatever is on your mind, and you occasionally offend people... but mostly you just entertain them.
You are very unique, and you don't like following rules. You like to have things done your way.
And just because you do things your way, it doesn't mean you're stubborn. You're the first person to experiment and mix things up a bit.
What do you get when you go to cracker barrel?
...country fried steak or meatloaf or pot roast?
Hey there, raru!
Naaaahhhh, you’re not stubborn at ALL! But, it takes one to know one, and I HAVE to have my food the way I want it. LOL!
We just had RAIN! Not much, but it sure was nice. The weird part is, it didn’t cool off much yet. 🤔
