Homeschool Memoirs: #16 - Candy

THEME:

This week it’s seriously going to be just fun. This week share your favourite candies. I know from being on the HSBA Post team that Sprittibee and Dawn love gummy-bears, and maybe Bunny too. Have fun with this… and you’re welcome to post a photo of YOU eating your favourite candy. Haha!

God’s Word is also like sweetness to our souls. His sweet love, forgiveness, comfort, peace, and more is what makes our lives seem a little more bearable when things get rough. Whenever you eat your sweet piece of goodness remember that God loves you and will always be there when life seems sour.

Share a scripture for this week as well. One that lifts you up when you’re feeling discouraged.

My sweet tooth is my downfall. It would be easier to list the candy that I don't like. Generally that would include the chewy, fruity, sugary kind like skittles and gummys. That type is not appealing to me at all. Now, if it has chocolate, it just might make my list. Butterfinger, M&M's plain and peanut, Almond Joy and homemade fudge with walnuts would be at the top.

While candy may satisfy the taste buds for a moment, God tells us that His words are sweeter than honey. (Psalm 119:103) That is where I find comfort for my soul. A recent favorite of mine is Psalm 27:13 and 14 -

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

What verses do you find comforting?
