I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month. Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now! Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said! I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style. The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters. Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year. He always says he's doing it for the grands but I know he does it because of the inner child in him! LOL! I went with the little ones to Disney on Ice and we had the best time. I think I enjo
Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. Psalm 34:8
Have you ever just had a hankering for something and you knew that you would not be satisfied until you got it? Well, that is how I felt about Mashed Potatoes!
I had everything I needed to make my mashed potatoes and my sweet husband (God bless his little heart) calls me to say, "Cindy, BABY, (he adds the "baby" in when he wants something) my office is having a cookout and I signed you up for potato salad and I need for you to make that today because it is for tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, so being thesubmissive sweet wife that I am......I said "Sure, no problem! Of course I must confess that I didn't say that until AFTER I told him I had bought potatoes for my hankering!!! I decided I would not be outdone so on to Plan B. I just so happened to have a pack of frozen cubed hashbrowns. Mashed potatoes was still in the making.
You know what else I thought about though? What if we had such a hankering for Jesus? We cannot be satisfied because we desire more of Him!More of His Word, More praying, More meditation on Him, More listening to Him, MORE of Him period...so much so that we will go to Plan B to get More of HIM!
I can remember when I was raising my three girls how hard it was at times to get just an extra 5 minutes to study His Word. It was hard to deliberately make the choice to make the time...somehow, somewhere and someway. On one particular day (another story for another day) I remember vividly praying, "Lord, give me a desire to know You more...give me a passion for Your Word and give me the "Time" I need. Help me Father not to settle for 2nd best.
From that time on the Lord gave me a hankering. I'd look for ways to come up with Plan B. My Plan B at times was waiting till my girls was in bed for the night while other times I would arise 30 minutes early prior to getting them up and ready for their day. Some days I would grab 5 minutes here and 10 minutes there. A lot of times I simply had to choose between good things and greater things! HARD? Oh yes! SATISFYING? Oh yes! You see, when you have a hankering for Jesus HE MAKES A WAY! Somehow, somewhere and someway! Sometimes...we just gotta have a Plan B!
Good, Better, Best....Never let it rest until your Good is Better and Your Better is Best!
And once we taste Him...Oh my friend...HE IS SO GOOD!
Hugs and blessings, Cindy

It's wonderful that He blesses with a hankering for Him. Thanks for that perfectly-relatable, southern fried version of that wonderful truth! :)
ReplyDeleteHE is so good and I hanker for Him all the time!
ReplyDeleteYou are so good, Cindy, and so right. ...Christine
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful analogy Cindy. I still am striving to read my scriptures daily. Always start out good the first of the year, but already slacking off. I need a hankering!
