Plates 🍽️

Often, when I leave the gym I’m hungry. I remember one particular time I was literally scarfing down my food like I hadn’t eaten in years. I wasn’t taking time to enjoy the process nor let the food digest. I just kept going and going. I ate so fast, my stomach was hurting afterwards.

A thought came to me about life, about how we treat life just like our food sometimes.

Going and going without even thinking about what we already have. Looking forward to the next thing without even appreciating what’s right in front of us; what’s happening right now. Then when we get all that we want, we complain and say: “ I have too much on my plate. “ but this is what you wanted right? Self-caused trail aka stomach ache.

More is not always the answer, and I know I had times where I needed to learn that the hard way. Let’s take today to appreciate the little things. Let’s take today to be thankful for what we do have and not discontent because our life isn’t like our neighbors.

Let’s be thankful and practice gratitude for the plate we’ve been given, someone is praying for what you have right now. Love family. 🤞🏿
