| Rasins and Nuts a great Snack courtesy photobucket.com |
If you are a working person
on the job, or a student at school, you may find fresh fruit difficult to carry
with you.
When I was a teen age girl,
there were times during the month, when I felt extremely weak and so very
tired.
Many times I was almost in a
faint.
I am a fair skinned person, and my complexion was always pale after a very debilitating health problem when I was about 12.
Too many silver fillings
caused my liver to rebel and my skin turned brilliant yellow. After about a month, I was better and able to
return to school but continued to be weak.
My mother decided that she
would wrap up a handful of raisins and add them to my sack lunch. Usually I saved the raisins until mid
afternoon just before my long walk home.
That snack was what saved many a day, and the infusion of iron gave me added
strength.
Later in life, we met a woman
who kept a supply of almonds on hand.
Each day she would snack on a handful of these delicious nuts. She counted out nineteen almonds.
If you have school age
children, you may want to consider purchasing the small mini snack zip lock
bags. They are just large enough to contain a handful of almonds and raisins, so
your child can easily carry it in their purse or back pack.
In the late afternoon they can retrieve their
precious snack and enjoy a quick fix of energy.
Your child will especially
need this snack if they have after school sports or other after school activities.
As Christians, there are
times when our faith seems to wobble and be weak. Perhaps it is time for a quick snack on the
Word of God.
Carrying around a big Bible
may not be the thing you want to do, but you can carry small index cards with
your favorite scripture verses printed on them. Here are a few good ones!
Always practice Gratitude: Psalms 100:4
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise:
be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
Feeling afraid, worried, or
depressed? Take a look at: 2Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;
but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Are you anxious?
Hebrews 13:5 Be content with such
things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you.

That is a GREAT idea, Hazel. The healthy snacks with some nuts, seeds, and/or primarily those raisins! My mom would pack raisins in my lunch, and those may have helped me more than I realized!
Great tie in, Hazel. For we do not live by bread alone... Or fruit! We have the wisdom of His word and His provision.
I sprinkle raisins on my green salad. Just had it for lunch. And they are so good with nuts if I just don't eat too many. Thanks for the spiritual snacks too. I know them but I am printing them off to have handy. I may even calligraphy them later on. Thx.
Great idea! My son (9) and I like to eat raisins from Turkey. They are so full of flavor. Thank you for the spiritual lesson.
