The other day I asked my Wellness Revelation group how I could pray for them. My friend Gerry, who is a terrifically busy lady, posted, "please pray that I stop snacking hugs!" After reading her message I sat back in my chair and wondered why she would need prayer to stop "snacking hugs", and then I realized, in her hurry, she forgot to place a comma between snacking and hugs.
Since then, I have
adopted the phrase into my vocabulary, and when I am in want, I ask myself, do I need to snack on love? Love comes in so many beautiful forms, from Eros, the passionate love of a spouse, Philia, the affection of a friend, Ludus, a playful love, Philautia, the love of self, Storage, a parent to child love, or Xenia, to love another through the gift of hospitality.
We can put all these forms of love into practice by calling a friend, playing a game with our families, hugging our children, giving ourselves a manicure, or donating our time or money to our neighbors. But, it is good to remember that all forms
of affection flow from the source, the Agape love of God.
John 3:16 reads, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
So, I'm going to settle into Jesus' embrace and snack on the best food, His Word, and be filled with God's Agape love.
Hey, thanks for the info Heather. It actually makes a lot of sense. Haven’t thought about that before. Looks like I’ll be adding a little salt and a little maple syrup!
A great all natural deodorant is made by Little Seed Farm. Honestly, it is the only natural deodorant that seems to actually work for me.
Great information Heather, I’ve been there too and just a side note for those gals (like me) who suffer sensitivities to chemicals, my savior was apple cider vinegar to “kill bacteria” after washing and then I used coconut oil rubbed in the pit area. I also added essential oils of lemongrass or geranium for a scent. The ACV was only as needed sometimes takes a few days to kill all bacteria causing smell and then daily with the coconut oil.
Thanks for sharing
Love this ❤️
We are definitely going to try out this recipe!
Great topic Heather! It's definitely one not talked about often and one that you just have to try to figure it out on your own, at least for me anyway.
