Sun.Food For Thought

October 30th Accent on the Present When we were obessed with food, we were often obesessed with the past as well. We would rehash our hurts and resentments, old fears and desires. Our dreams, along with our waking hours, may have been filled with people from our past. such preoccupation with the past prevented us from focusing on the present. By realinzing that compulsive overeating is a non-stop trip back to the hurts of the past, we become more determineed to maintain abstinence. If we are to be alive in the present, we need to let go of the past. What is over is over and cannot be replayed except in our minds. What we can do is turn our memories over to our Higher Power for healing. The creative Spirit which is not bound by time can take away old hurts and resentments. Then we are free to deal with the present and concentrate on doing God's will for us now, today. Living in the present keeps us in touch with the Power which restores us to sanity. May I remember that You are always now.
